Elite Volcano Hike-(Kona Pick Up)

Explore Elite Volcano Hike Kona

The Elite Volcano Hike Kona tour is a 14-hour hiking adventure focused on exploring Kilauea lava flows dating back to 1881 through the historic 2018 eruption. This tour offers a deep dive into Hawaii Island’s volcanic landscape on foot.

Guided Volcanology and Lava Tube Exploration

Travel across Saddle Road between Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa, two of Earth’s tallest volcanoes. Your National Park Service certified guide provides detailed narration on the volcanology, geology, and history of these massive volcanoes, including the flora and fauna along the route.

Explore Kaumana Caves, part of the lava tube system that brought lava as close as 1.5 miles from downtown Hilo in 1881. The dramatic cathedral-like caves offer a unique volcanic experience.

Historic Trails and National Park Visit

Drive through Hilo town and stop at KapohoKine Adventures store to pick up supplies. Visit Hawaii Volcanoes National Park to see the destruction caused by the 2018 eruption. After a picnic lunch, hike approximately three miles along the Halema’uma’u trail, starting behind the historic Volcano House and descending to the caldera floor.

This trail, established in 1846, has been used for generations and was once the route for Mark Twain’s rescue by native guide Alex Lancaster. The hike passes through ancient forests of tree ferns, some over 1,000 years old, providing a rich natural and historical experience.
