The price listed is for the entire van for up to 10 people. We live in Volcano and we are both National Park Certified Interpretive Guides so you are getting the best experience. Out of the 3 hours we are driving for only about 45-55 minutes.

We created this activity to make learning about volcanoes budget and family-friendly. There is so much to learn in the Park and so much to see it would be difficult to know how to prioritize if you are on your own. Ride along in our Mercedes van and see video footage of past eruptions. This tour is customized to your and your group's interests. There are easy hikes and more difficult hikes, there is a lot to see and do.

Give you and your family an exciting experience you will remember and get more out of the National Park than you would if you were on your own!

Due to consistent bad weather, we have removed the 1 PM option.

* Dress code: LAYERS and raincoats; mountain weather can change 20 degrees in 1 morning.*

This is a fully guided small group charter tour or hike to see the highlights of Hawaii Volcanoes National Park and various sights via Mercedes Benz Luxury Van with a local guide.  Since it's a charter, you choose from the menu of highlights you'd like to see and we do out best to maximize your time. Because the Volcano is the most popular destination, we typically try to see Rainbow Falls, Downtown Hilo, Big Island Candies, and then head up to the volcano to spend the bulk of the time in the Park. If you are interested in hiking, we can arrange the best hike in the crater area for your level, or just move from crater to crater by vehicle. If you are coming off the Pride of America or any cruise that arrives in Hilo, we can arrange in advance for meals. Variations include going as far as the Punaluu Black Sand Beach, wine tasting at the Volcano winery, or even heading all the way to South Point and tasting famous Ka'u Coffee, Macadamia Nuts and Honey.

A part daytime, part evening experience to the Volcanoes National Park. Get up close and personal with Goddess Pele, creator of the Hawaiian Islands and central vortex of Hawaii's creativity energy as you venture around her home, the Halema'umau crater. Connect with the most active volcano in the world and tune in to the vortex energy. The Volcano Vortex Hike consists of an eight hour adventure starting with a stroll through the famous Thurston Lava Tube, a guided hike across and around Kilauea Iki crater (an ancient volcanic crater) with guided meditation near steam vents, and followed up with a hike to the lava overlook to see the fiery glow of Pele in all her glory. *Please note, availability of the lava viewing platform may vary due to social distancing measures enforced by the park.

An incredible hike at Volcanoes National Park. We will start at the Kilauea Visitor Center and boasts magnificent views of the Kilauea Iki Crater.
