This itinerary idea focuses on the active sights of Kilauea’s eruption. While the volcano is too large to see in one day, we present as many of the highlights as possible in your available time. Because the volcano’s activity and viewing conditions are variable, we cannot guarantee active lava, only to guide you safely as close as conditions permit.

Morning: Kilauea’s summit, from the native forests to the site of active eruption at Halema’uma’u crater, allowing for meals and transit.

The south slope of Kilauea, where Pele’s lava flows meet the ocean.

Summary: Located partly within Hawai’i Volcanoes National Park, active and recent lava flows cover the coastal plain of Kilauea, growing the island while encroaching on civilization. Whether by land, sea or air, to witness active lava is an unmatchable experience every time, when the volcano goddess Pele, the conditions and the authorities allow.
