This is the Big Island's most “in-depth” volcano experience. Join our National Park Certified Guides on a full-day adventure that will take you on a journey of the new and dramatic landscape of Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. See how the historically large collapse of the Halemaumau Crater has changed Kilauea Volcano forever.

The day begins with a scenic drive over the stark and beautiful Saddle Road. As you venture across the middle of island, enjoy the vast and diverse landscape as it drastically changes; listen and learn from your interpretive guide as they reveal the stories of the land. The next stop is a treat – enjoyed only by Hawaii Forest and Trail guests! Your guide will take you traversing into the gorgeous Kauhi Cavern. This exclusive access into this private lava tube is known for its rare yellow and gold microbial mats living on and accenting the cave walls. This cave has many unique features including its expansive rooms, 35 foot ceilings, bright golden walls and an “upside down” forest of roots hanging from the cave ceiling. Explore this underground world of volcanic history as your guide paints a picture of volcano past and present. Enjoy a deli-style lunch & refreshments before venturing to the world's most active volcano, Kilauea.

From there we head straight to Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. Your guide will prepare you for the day's exploration with hiking gear and background information. Given the ever-changing environment of this active volcano, our guides will select the routes that best suites your small group's ability. After taking in the breathtaking views and exploring the Park's diverse and dynamic climates and surroundings, enjoy a warm picnic dinner in the Park to refuel with your fellow travelers.

After a full day of adventure, sit back and relax as your guide returns you to your meeting location and you reflect on your day's volcano experience.
