HIKE as close as safely possible, when it's possible!

We are the safety leaders on the active flow field with no more than 6 people per guide, specialized equipment for your use & comfort (incl. respirators for gas dangers), and presentations on the area's history, culture, ecology & the science of lava flows.
  • Kilauea - the most active volcano in the world
  • Best views of activity, including lava up-close when possible
  • Adventurous hike
  • Accurate first hand geology information
  • Expert local guide with presentations on eruption history

Sample itinerary

J 1: La Randonnée à Proximité de la Lave
Approcher aussi près que possible en toute sécurité, lorsque c'est possible ! Cette randonnée extrême à travers les champs et les Terraces de lave (aride, lisse, scoriacée,…) n'est disponible que lorsque la lave est active au sein du Parc National et peut être contraignante par sa longueur entre 12 à 20 km aller-retour, mais c'est l’effort qu'il faut parfois réaliser pour sentir la chaleur de la lave incandescente rouge. Contactez-nous pour plus d'informations, sur les distances et la disponibilité!

Point de départ:

The tour starts and ends on Big Island, ideally in Hilo or Volcano. Pick-up and transfers to and from Kona can be arranged, but the guided transfer time counts towards the time of the tour.
