As majestic as the lava flows of Mount Kilauea are by day, they’re positively awe-inspiring by night. Even the biggest lava lamp in the world couldn’t possibly compare. This electrifying tour allows you to witness the creation of new land in the Big Island’s southeastern Puna district, as lava spreads out slowly toward the ocean, glowing more and more brightly as darkness falls. You’ll get as close as possible to the action, with safety always a primary concern. The Hawaiian Islands were created by volcanic eruptions, and still are. In fact, the tallest mountain in the world, the Big Island’s Mauna Kea, is a dormant volcano. (Its height is measured from the ocean floor.) Imagine walking out across Mount Kilauea’s old lava flows, and seeing new ones emerge, to begin their streaming journey to the sea, steaming into the water to form the next black sand beach. Imagine being present for the making of the next acre, and the next, of the Big Island.

The glow of this newly minted land in the lush tropical night will be something you’ll never forget, and no visit to the Big Island should be without this fabulous experience. This is the true, living Hawaii at its very best. Dinner and necessary supplies are included on this tour. Your safety is our first concern, but the courage will have to be your own. Don’t miss this opportunity to see Mount Kilauea’s eruption by night. Your lava lamp will never look quite the same again.
