LAVA HIKE TOURS
Easy or Extreme Lava Hike Adventure on the Big Island of Hawaii
Kalapana Lava Hike
This 5 hour tour is a driving tour with a short, 10-15 minute walk out across an old lava field to view molten lava flowing into the ocean at night. This tour starts out with a drive through a macadamia nut orchard and then a stop at the Mauna Loa Macadamia Nut farm. We then continue on to view lava trees and fissures located at the Lava Tree State park in the Nanawale Rainforest. After viewing the lava trees the tour continues on to a scenic drive down the famous Kalapana Red Road, winds along Mango Grove Drive with a stop at a scenic sea-cliff lookout, and finally entering the current lava fields of Kalapana just before sunset. We then walk out over the old lava flows to the shore where the rivers of red, molten lava are flowing into the ocean. Watch a new black sands beach being formed right before your eyes! The terrain is uneven so please wear closed-toe shoes such as sneakers. A universal tripod is set up for taking lava pictures with your camera, a telescope for lava viewing and chairs for sitting out on the lava. Tours includes light snacks and beverages.
*Please note, at this time this tour takes you 1/2 mile from the current lava flow.

Extreme Lava Hike
Join us as we travel down to "Uncle Roberts" in Puna. Walk over the newly formed land and feel the heat as a native Hawaiian guide leads you in search of molten lava. Feel the heat under your feet, hear the crackling of the lava and keep a keen eye out for surface outbreaks. This is an experience you don't want to miss! Lava is a natural event and can start and stop without warning. When there is no Lava visible at Kalapana we will do an alternate high adventure hike for which our company has special permission and training from the National Park Service. This tour includes a 5 mile hike over un-even terrain. We provide walking sticks and bottled water.
Tour Length/Departure Times: 6 Hours
