Hawai'i Island Volcano Adventure Tour (from Hilo) H2

This Hawai'i Island Volcano Adventure Tour (from Hilo) H2 captures dramatic volcanic transformation in a comprehensive 10.5-hour journey through the island's most active volcanic terrain.

Starting with 7:30 AM hotel pickup from Hilo, guests dive deep into Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park to witness geology in action. The Halema'uma'u Crater—now doubled in size since June 2018—showcases nature's incredible power. At Steam Vents, visitors watch clouds form as ground water meets scorching volcanic rock, while the ancient Nahuku (Thurston) Lava Tube offers a cool respite surrounded by emerald rainforest. The tour also includes Kilauea Iki Overlook, the smaller pit crater next to the main Kilauea caldera.

Chain of Craters Road delivers some of the island's most dramatic scenery. From Kealakomo Overlook, vast lava fields stretch toward the ocean where older flows once poured into the sea.

But this isn't just about volcanoes. Two beloved waterfalls steal the show—Rainbow Falls, where mist creates magical rainbows as water tumbles into pools below, and towering Akaka Falls, cascading through bamboo groves thick with orchids and hanging ferns.

The day wraps up with a drive through historic Hilo Town, past the majestic banyans of Banyan Drive and the peaceful Liliuokalani Gardens.

The tour includes round-trip air-conditioned transportation, expert live narration, park admissions, and lunch. Pack sturdy closed-toe shoes and a jacket since volcanic elevations run cooler. Those with heart or respiratory conditions should skip this due to volcanic fumes.

Please note that pickup is not available from the Kona area. 24 hours prior to your tour, reconfirm your pickup time and location by calling 808-833-3000. Cancellation policy requires 48 hours notice for full refund.
