Big Island Hawaii Volcano Adventure

Description:

• The recent eruptions of Kilauea Volcano in Hawaii Volcanoes National Park have captured the world's imagination and on this Volcano Adventure Tour you can see this famous landscape for yourself.

  This fully narrated Volcano Adventure features a hike over the lava flow that covered the village of Kalapana and famous Kaimu black sand beach in the 1980's. You will take a short walk out to the newest accessible black sand beach which takes you over an area that was once the ocean. Look to the east and see the slopes of Volcanoes National Park where, if there is any surface lava flow, you may see steam or lava coming down towards the sea.

  Explore Volcanoes National Park, Jagger Museum, Thurston Lava Tube, Kilauea Iki Crater and visit a colorful anthurium and orchid nursery where you will see these exotic blooms. Another highlight of this Volcano Adventure is legendary Rainbow Falls where you might be lucky enough to see the rushing water mix with sunlight to form beautiful rainbows.
