 wave in the breeze. "Pin It")
Experience the post-apocalyptic landscape of the magnificent Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park, with its billowing plumes of ashen grey smoke and desolate ground split with fiery lashes. Yet the lushness of life thrives, green foliage overhangs the entrance of a lava tube and ferns (larger than a person) wave in the breeze.
Details
Travel up the coast alongside rolling pastures painted in a bright, waving green. Trek over where lava once flowed in a dramatic blaze of orange, now a charcoal grey pathway. A tasty Continental-style breakfast fortifies you for the journey into a diverse and varied landscape toward vast ranchlands, sub-alpine forests, and rainforests.
Ascend to the summit of Kilauea and the entrance to Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park, listed as both a World Heritage Site and an International Biosphere Reserves site. Explore the rainforest, journey into a lava tube, discover remarkable volcanic formations, and experience the incredible diversity of geography and climate.
From your guide’s detailed interpretation of the unique geology of the area, learn about—and experience--the world's most active volcano.
