This itinerary idea focuses on the active sights of Kilauea’s eruption and its unique geologic and natural features. While the volcano is too large to see in one day, we present as many of the highlights as possible in your available time. Because the volcano’s activity and viewing conditions are variable, we cannot guarantee active lava, only to guide you safely as close as conditions permit.
The 1-day tour can be combined into a multiple-day itinerary.
