Insight

Experience a day of exploration as you trek the grand volcanic features that continue to expand the geography of the island of Hawai'i. This tour takes you to volcanic eruption sites dating as far back as the 1800s to areas of devastation as recent as 2018. Peek into cavernous tubes that formerly funneled lava into the Pacific and cruise through the sleepy seaside town of Hilo that gives you a feel for old Hawai'i.

Visit the Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park, a one-of-a-kind gem when it comes to nature reserves. There, you will see the historic Volcano House with dramatic views of Halema’uma’u Crater. Take a look around the Kīlauea Visitors Center and become an expert in volcanology. Tour the Steam Bluffs, from which clouds of gray add to the eerie allure of this unusual geological phenomenon. Additional volcanic exploration includes visits to sites affected by past eruptions including 2018 and 1953's infamous volcanic explosions. An extensive panorama lends itself to a complete comprehension of the vastness of the lava fields

Beyond volcanic exploration, guests on this tour will be treated to a private tour of the world-famous volcanic winery. Indulge in a wine tasting of eight of the vineyard's famed creations.
