Hike through rainforest to a lava tube and learn to read the volcanic landscape of Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park.

About this tour

Spend two hours learning to read the volcanic landscape on a guided visit to Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park. This experience turns a walk through the park into a closer look at the forces that shaped the Big Island.

Set out on an approximately one-mile hike from the edge of a dramatic pit crater, passing through native Hawaiian rainforest on the way to a lava tube. Along the route, your guide points out lava formations, explains how and when they formed, and reveals details many visitors might otherwise pass by. You’ll also learn how volcanoes created the Hawaiian Islands and influenced local wildlife, ecosystems, and culture.

Private transportation, bottled water, and an air-conditioned vehicle are provided. The park entrance fee is not included and costs $30 per car, valid for 7 days. Meet at Kīlauea Iki Trailhead, then follow the lava tube signs after passing the entrance ranger stations.

This two-hour Hawaii Volcanoes National Park volcano tour offers a fresh perspective that can make volcanic features across the Big Island easier to understand. Join the walk and see the landscape with a more informed eye.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 5.00 from 2 reviews. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.

How the score works and rating distribution in Big Island of Hawaii
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 7.2.
