Evening Volcano Explorer Kona 2

There is no Big Island tour quite as spectacular as seeing the volcano at night, and nobody takes you to where the action is like KapohoKine Adventures! Join us as we take you on a thrilling discovery of Kilauea Volcano. We will take you to the Puna District on the East-side of the Big Island, our home and home to the best lava viewing locations. Your guide will prepare a Hawaiian-style barbecue dinner at our private macadamia nut and honey farm complete with choice of beverage including sodas, juice and bottled water before setting off for the heart of the volcano. We will 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 sun sets. 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. New land is being created and added to the Big Island right before your eyes, just as these islands have been created for millions of years! We provide military-grade flashlights, walking sticks, sunblock, dinner and drinks. Please wear sturdy closed toe shoes as slippers, sandals and flip-flops will not be accepted. A light jacket, hat, long pants, and sunglasses are all highly recommended. Due to the constantly changing nature of the eruption seeing molten lava cannot be guaranteed. Participants need to be comfortable walking on loose, rocky and uneven surfaces. Usually all three at the same time. Participants should be prepared for immediate evacuation in accordance with directions given by County, State, and Federal officials on site. Our alternate viewing area will be used should the County viewing be closed or evacuated.
