Hawaii Volcano Tours Ratings & Reviews

Looking forward to our next visit soon!

We had a great time exploring the night sky on the side of Mauna Kea on the Big Island. The volcanic landscape around us made us think we were in outer-space!

Incredible Volcanic Experience

I was lucky enough to visit when the lava was flowing years ago which was absolutely incredible. This last visit was just as amazing as we spent more time checking out the effects, the changed landscapes and the other beautiful points on the Big Island that get overshadowed by flowing lava.

Our Guide Was The Best

There is nothing better than having a guide take you to a place you have never been before. The insight, the entertainment, the comfortability and for me, who is normally the driver, a chance to enjoy the scenery fully. It was great.

Rick R.

Amazing Service From The Team

Volcanoes are facinating to me and we had plenty of time and fun exploring them on Maui. The volcanoes tour took us to two different volcanic environments and showed the variety of landscapes created by these massive forces of nature. Our guide really made it great and tied in the Hawaiian culture so you felt a connection to it too. Really great day.

Questions & Answers About Volcano Tours

Does Mauna Loa Have Lava Flow?

Yes. On Sunday, November 27, 2022, Mauna Loa erupted for the first time since 1984. That's 38 years. To follow volcano updates, please see the Mauna Loa Eruption page.
Is there Any Lava Flowing At Kileaua?

Though continuously active, Kilauea Volcano’s flowing lava is not always at the surface-level. Kilauea last erupted in 2018. Occasionally the glow from the lava lake is viewable or a surface flow of lava, but you will need to check the status with your tour advisor or the local weather forecast.
When and Where Was The Last Major Eruption?

On November 27th, 2022, Mauna Loa erupted. Mauna Loa is the world's largest active volcano. There has never been a better time to book a volcano tour with us because Kīlauea also has visible lava. In 2018 there was a volcanic eruption on the Big Island on Kilauea, which began on May 3, 2018, until September 4, 2018. Haleakala has erupted at least ten times in the past 1,000 years. According to scientific records, the last eruption occurred sometime between 1480 and 1600.
Why Should I Book A Volcano Tour?

Volcano tours in Hawaii are the perfect way to experience a deep insight into Hawaiian volcanic history. Tours depart from Oahu, Maui and the Big Island. Kilauea on the Big Island is the world’s most active volcano, and Haleakala has one of the world's largest dormant volcanic craters on Maui. Learn more about volcanoes by booking a volcano tour, where you can feel the energy of these majestic volcanic landscapes accompanied by our guides who love sharing their passion and knowledge with others. One of the most thrilling ways to explore the volcanoes of Hawaii is by helicopter.
Is Visiting A Volcanic Area Safe?

Hawaii’s volcanoes are shield volcanoes which are characterized by slow-moving lava activity. Shield volcanoes do not create spectacular explosions or deadly quick-moving pyroclastic flows. You would not be in any immediate danger in Hawaii from a volcanic eruption unless you’re in the path of a lava flow or proximity to the eruptive activity. If you are in the path of a lava flow on the Big Island, because it moves slowly, you should be able to walk away from it safely.
Are The Volcanoes In Hawaii Now Extinct?

Five volcanoes make up the island of Hawaii: Kohala, Mauna Kea, Hualalai, Mauna Loa, and Kilauea. Kohala is the oldest volcano on the island of Hawaii and is now considered extinct. Volcanoes that will never erupt again are considered extinct. Dormant volcanoes are not extinct because they erupted within the last 10,000 years and will probably erupt again. Kilauea is the most well-known volcano in Hawaii, as it’s one of the world's most frequently active volcanoes. It has been continuously erupting since 1983. Other active volcanoes are Hualalai and Mauna Loa.
Why Are There Only Volcano Tours On Maui & Big Island?

The volcanoes on the Big Island and Maui are both powerful forces of nature. Hawaii Volcanoes National Park on the Big Island protects some of the most unique geological, biological, and cultural landscapes in the world. Extending from sea level to the summit of Mauna Loa at 13,677 feet, the park encompasses the summits of two of the world's most active volcanoes - Kīlauea and Mauna Loa. The main feature of Haleakala National Park on Maui is the Haleakala Volcano, which rises 10,000 ft above sea level and has a spectacular crater at the summit. Sunrises here are world-class and one of the most popular of all Maui activities. Explore one or both of these volcanoes with certified eco-tourism guides and learn about the unique geology and cultural significants of these sacred volcanoes.
Will We Walk Or Hike On Lava?

If you’re looking to see lava, your best and safest way is to book a Hawaii volcano tour. The best way to see lava on the Big Island is by helicopter or by hiking across the dry lava fields.
