Explore The Big Islandʻs Volcanoes
Aptly nicknamed “the Big Island”, Hawaiʻi Island boasts 4,000 square miles of explorable land. The youngest of the archipelago, the Big Island is the result of five volcanoes, two of which are still active today! This ever-growing island is already so large that it could fit all the other major islands within its coastline – twice! Today, Hawaiʻi Island has the most active volcano in the world – the Kilauea Caldera. Kilauea has been erupting continuously since 1983 and in the spring of 2018, the lower east rift zone expelled the largest amount of lava ever recorded in the islands since record-keeping began in 1794! Now quiet, the skies over Hawaiʻi Island are clear of volcanic haze and its new coastline has cooled, but the event served as a reminder of just how powerful Pele, the Hawaiʻian goddess of the volcano, can be.
Volcano Land Tours From Kona, Kohala Or Hilo
Embark on a once-in-a-lifetime exploration of one of nature’s most curious and thrilling phenomena. This land tour of Kilauea is a top priority for your Hawaiian island vacation. Explore the rare geological wonder from the blackened, razor-sharp lava fields to the festering boiling pots of Pele, the volcano goddess’s, lair. The views of the great Pacific will leave you breathless as you take in the panorama from the mountain’s slope. The gaping crater and lava-scarred land are sights unique to volcanic activity, and set this national park apart from any other in the US. With stops at the Kilauea Visitor Center and information and ancient Hawaiian lore from certified guides, this educational tour is fun and interactive for visitors of all ages!
