Description:

Get the rare chance to experience a different side of Hawaii with a visit to Volcanoes National Park. See the sites of ancient eruptions, lava beds, and steam vents, and learn about the colossal forces that have shaped the island and the culture that sprang up around it.

All the Hawaiian Islands were formed by lava formations that rose from the ocean floor, but the Big Island is the only one where volcanoes still erupt to this day. At Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park, you can see the smoldering crater of Kilauea Iki; walk through a lava tube and see the marks left by ancient lava flows; and learn how these primordial forces gave birth to the islands over hundreds of thousands of years.

Your tour also takes you to see dormant volcanoes, lava beds, and steam vents, and black-sand beaches that highlight the diverse effects of the region's incredible geology. Along the way, learn the legends that Hawaii's people use explain these natural phenomena, as well as the science of how each eruption occurs.
