On this exciting hiking expedition, you’ll visit Hawaii Volcanoes National Park with our expert local guides to view the most spectacular wonders of the natural world. You’ll hike into the crater floor of Kilauea Caldera, the most perpetually live volcano in the world – first active in 1983. The sights within the crater of Kilauea Caldera will definitely be the apex of your holiday to the Big Island of Hawaii.

Step on top of still warm lava. Feel the underground heat rise from the still molten lava under the hardened crust. Meander along the Steam Vents Trail, where you’ll see steam gush from the Earth as a result of the subterranean pressure. Stroll into a three hundred and fifty year old lava tube, created by 2000 degree magma. Witness the steam banks, where volcanic gasses escape from the Earth – this remarkable alien–like landscape will remind you of a scene from a science fiction movie. You’ll be amazed by the intricate sulfur crystals that form on the volcanic rocks. Finish this exhilarating outdoor expedition with a tasty lunch at the Volcano House, a restaurant that overlooks the crater.

This amazing ecological adventure is ideal for individuals looking for some serious hiking – this tour is only recommended for people in moderate shape since it could be categorized somewhere between moderately strenuous to challenging. But, if you are up to the challenge, then the eye-popping vistas on this guided tour is well worth the energy expended. This tour is ideal for eco-tourists looking to witness Mother Nature in all her dramatic glory.
