Activity itinerary

Kilauea Visitor Center
  • 15m
  • Admission ticket included
Upon arriving at Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, your exploration truly begins with a vital stop at the Kīlauea Visitor Center (or current park orientation facility). Your expert guide will provide an essential overview of the park's dynamic geology, Hawaiian cultural significance, and current volcanic conditions, setting the stage for your adventure. Take a moment to explore the informative exhibits, utilize the restrooms, and browse for unique souvenirs before we delve deeper into the captivating volcanic landscape.
Kilauea Overlook
  • 20m

Next, stand in awe at the Kīlauea Overlook, the premier viewpoint for the immense Kīlauea caldera and Halemaʻumaʻu crater. From this powerful vantage point, your expert guide will bring the dynamic landscape to life, sharing insights into its geological history and current activity. Grasp the vast scale of the volcano. If conditions permit and Kīlauea is actively fountaining, this is also a prime location to glimpse lava fountaining (visible activity is never guaranteed).
Steam Vents
  • 15m
  • Admission ticket included
At stops like Wahinekapu (Steaming Bluff) and Haʻakulamanu (Sulphur Banks), experience the tangible geothermal activity as columns of steam rise directly from the earth. Your expert guide will explain the science behind these powerful phenomena, offering a direct connection to the active magma chamber below. Feel the warmth and, often, detect the distinct scent of sulfur, providing a truly immersive sensory experience of the volcano's ongoing forces.
Nahuku - Thurston Lava Tube
  • 50m
  • Admission ticket included
From the Kīlauea Iki Trailhead, begin an engaging walk to discover Nāhuku (Thurston Lava Tube). This journey takes you through dense rainforest, descending into the massive, cool cavern formed by ancient liquid rock flows. Experience this surreal volcanic underworld, then return to the trailhead. Your guide will illuminate the tube's formation and the unique ecosystem thriving above.
Volcano House
  • 20m
  • Admission ticket included
Pause at the iconic Volcano House, a historic hotel gracefully perched on the rim of Kīlauea caldera. While typically a brief stop, its notable vantage point offers breathtaking panoramic views of the caldera, providing a unique perspective of the volcano's vastness. Your guide can share fascinating stories of its storied past and its role in the park's history, as you soak in the atmosphere of this unique lodge within a national park, with opportunities for restrooms or quick souvenir Browse.
Chain of Craters Road
  • 2h
Embark on a spectacular 2-hour drive along Chain of Craters Road, a dramatic descent from the summit to the coast. This iconic route showcases immense lava flows from past eruptions, ancient petroglyph fields, and numerous pit craters formed by collapsing land. Witness incredible coastal views where volcanic cliffs meet the Pacific, and learn about the continuous shaping of the island by Earth's raw power. Your guide will highlight key geological features and points of interest along this unforgettable scenic route.
