Volcanoes National Park- Kilauea Iki Trail...private tour Our Volcano tour drives the eleven mile loop around Crater Rim Road stopping at Halema'uma'u, a lava shield capped with a pit crater, and the observatory. Then we will hike down into Kilauea Iki to the caldera. The tour walks through beautiful 'ohia lehua/ fern rainforest (Wao Kele O Puna) with ferns reaching 30 feet high. The Hawaiian honey creepers, the apapane, amakihi and I'iwi live here. You then enter a lava moon scape of immense destruction. The Kilauea Iki hike will not follow the usual trails and deviate to a much more interesting but little used path. After hiking the volcano and a visit to the $125 per person. On this tour you will learn about Hawaiian history, language, hula, plants and volcanic geology.

Lava Flow Viewing I am not doing lava viewing tours at the present time. As of June 20th the lava is flowing in Volcanoes National Park. It is a mile and a half hike to the flows and it is the best I have ever experienced. You should be staying on the Hilo side of the Island to travel to the flows. You have a seven hour round trip drive if you are staying in Kona. $150 per person We will tour the Park before going to view the flows. Tour lasts from 5-6 hours. Lava photos

growth koa and ohia kipukas. Birding is excellent and views of Mauna Kea are wonderful. One of my favorite hikes for viewing endangered native birds. The hike alternates between stark lava flows and old growth forest. Hiking shoes and binoculars advised. Moderate hike. We will then drive up to the observatory to view the star. Tours starts at 3PM.
