Itinerary
The recent eruptions of Hawaii's Kilauea Volcano in Volcanoes National Park have captured the world's imagination. This narrated Volcano Adventure features a walk over the lava flow that covered the village of Kalapana and famous Kaimu black sand beach in the 1980's.
You will experience 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. You will visit Jagger Museum and Hawaii National Park Visitors Center. And You will enjoy a special tour stop at the beautiful Akaka Falls State Park where you will see two majestic waterfalls amidst a lush rain forest.
This excursion continues on to the majestic Rainbow Falls where rushing water interacts with golden sunshine to create rainbows. You will visit a colorful anthurium and orchid nursery where you will discover these exotic blooms.
Some features may be closed on Christmas Day, New Year's Day or Thanksgiving.
We cannot predict weather or lava viewing conditions. Lava viewing features can change hourly. We do not guarantee sightings of active lava flows. Surface lava may be present but may not be viewable due to environmental conditions or time constraints.
Akatsuka Orchid Gardens on the Big Island will be closed on Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years Day. Therefore, this Adventure Tour will not be stopping there on these days and we will instead spend additional time at the Hawaii Volcanoes National Park.
