Description

Embark from Kailua-Kona on an efficient itinerary through the Big Island’s Awe-Inspiring Hawaii Volcanoes National Park and Majestic Waterfalls.

You’re standing on what feels like the top of the world as a surreal landscape engulfs you. Here, at the top of the Kilauea volcano, a patchwork of jagged rocks, boulders, and craggy outcroppings are the result of ancient volcanic eruptions. Renowned scientists and scholars have stood in your footsteps before, studying this active volcano said to be governed by the Hawaiian Goddess of fire, Pele. It is a humbling experience that fills you with a deep sense of respect for the power and unpredictability of nature. This is the heart of Hawaii — its volcanoes — and you are feeling its pulse in the company of your small group of friends or family for a memory that will last a lifetime.
