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 should be prepared for immediate evacuation in accordance with directions
