Volcano Special
This true adventure tour gives you a rich cultural experience and an exciting view of nature at work. A picturesque ride through gardens and waterfalls gives way to the austere vistas of dormant volcanoes, steam vents, lava beds, and craters. Meanwhile, you will hear stories of Pele, ancient Hawaiian goddess of the volcano, who settled in the crater of Halema`uma`u at the summit of Kilauea. This opens way to many other Hawaiian stories and volcanic artifacts that you will find at Jagger Museum and Kilauea Visitor Center at the Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. While Mother Nature is unpredictable, you may be able to catch a glimpse of active lava flows from Kilauea which has been erupting since 1983. But, even if you don’t, the panoramic views will leave you awestruck in the presence of nature’s toils.
The Hawaii Volcano Special departs from Hilo. These Big Island Land Tours will show you the beautiful Rainbow Falls, Macadamia Nut Factory, the Hilo area, Orchid and Anthurium Nursery and of course the Volcanoes National Park. No host lunch stop.
