Our first stop will be standing at the edge very top of Halema’uma’u crater at Kilauea volcano! Kilauea is the world’s active volcano and one of two volcanoes that make up Volcanoes National Park. Your guide will explain to you about vast changes that have happened here over the years to make up what we currently see today.
After, we will continue down the Crater Rim Road to the Wahinekapu steaming bluffs. Here, rainwater seeps through deep cracks in the ground then rises to surface as water vapor.

The Volcano tour was amazing. We loved the amount of information and personal touch by Shawn. It was great to have everything arranged from personal transportation to meals to park passes to gear to personal pictures. Shawn made this trip a memorable one for us as we learned a great deal and loved all that the Big Island has to offer. Thank you, Shawn.
