Big Island of Hawaii Volcano National Park tour from Hilo
Overview
Drive through Hilo town and visit the historic waterfront before heading to Kalapana, an old fishing village affected by lava flows. Your National Park Service certified guide provides insights into the Kilauea volcano's geology and history.
- 🏞️ Kalapana was destroyed by lava, along with Kaimu beach, leading to a hike across the lava flow to a new black sand beach.
- ⛪ Stop at Star of the Sea Painted Church, relocated twice by the community to protect it from advancing lava in 1990; it is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
- 🌋 Next, visit Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, including the Kilauea Visitor’s Center and Kilauea Iki Crater Overlook.
- 🌄 Enjoy views of Kilauea Caldera from Volcano House and hike to observe cracks and sinkholes created by the historic eruption of 2018.
