From dramatic black lava flows to lush native rainforests, you'll experience everything that Hawaii
Volcanoes National Park has to offer. Join our Park Ranger trained guides and make the spectacular
Hawaii Volcanoes National Park your breathtaking destination. Let your guide share the unique
wonders of the only UNESCO World Heritage Site in Hawaii and Biosphere preserve. Enjoy several
interpretive walks in the Park including visits to active volcanic craters and steam vents, a walk
through the famous Thurston Lava Tube, and a visit to the fascinating Jagger Museum. The rich
history of the Park makes for a fascinating narrative as only our guides can tell it. Visit world famous
Rainbow Falls on your way to Hilo. All admission fees, plus beverages, a delicious picnic-style lunch
in and BBQ dinner are included. There is nothing quite as spectacular as seeing red molten lava, and
nobody takes you to where the action is quite like KapohoKine Adventures! Join us as we take you
on a thrilling discovery of Kilauea Volcano. We'll take you to the Puna District on the Big Island's East
side, our home and home to the best lava viewing locations. Explore the Black Sand Beach at Kaimu
& hear first hand stories on the eruption of 1990 that destroyed the village of Kalapana. We'll then
drive as close as we safely can before setting off on foot to find the most recent surface outbreaks
and ocean entries. Watch as the black, smoking landscape changes right before your eyes as the
sunsets. Skylights in the lava tube system and surface flows suddenly glow bright red as the crackle
and hiss of escaping gasses and liquid rock changing to solid seems to grow louder as the lava
slowly marches to the sea. Your return to Kona will take you on a relaxing drive along the Hamakua
and Kohala coast, through historic Parker Ranch lands and the cattle town of Waimea.

guaranteed. Participants need to be capable of walking on uneven surfaces. Tour may be canceled
