Hawaii Volcanoes National Park

Next, we journey to the summit of Kilauea volcano within Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, a globally renowned volcanic site revered for its significance being attributed to the goddess Pele. This park showcases two of the planet's most active volcanoes, Kilauea and Mauna Loa, offering insights to the formation of the Hawaiian Islands and showcasing breathtaking vistas of volcanic landscapes. During our visit, we'll pause at the Visitor Center, marvel at the spectacular collapsed caldera, observe steam vents and sulfur banks, and soak in the mesmerizing scenic viewpoints. A visit to Volcanoes National Park is an essential part of any Hawaiian adventure, ensuring an unforgettable experience.

Nahuku - Thurston Lava Tube

We'll embark on a walk through a lava tube, where your guide will provide insights into its formation by lava. This loop, approximately 600 meters or .4-mile trail, features low lighting, with gradual stairs leading into and out of the tube. While this portion of the tour may not be suitable for all passengers due to physical fitness, alternative options include remaining in the vehicle or exploring the natural scenery outside. Additionally, you'll have the choice to bring headlamps along for enhanced visibility within the dimly lit lava tube, allowing you to appreciate intricate cave details and observe the formation of tiny stalactites.
