Description
Your National Park Service certified guide will pick you up from your hotel, accommodation or meeting location for your evening tour to Hawaii Volcanoes National Park.
The tour varies slightly if you are starting from Kona or from Hilo. In both cases you will visit a black sand beach, make various stops in Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, hike over lava fields and see Mauna Ulu, a landscape like no other on earth. For those visitors coming from Hilo, your tour starts a bit later and includes a stop in Kalapana. For visitors starting in Kona or Kohala areas we make stops at a coffee farm for lunch, a bakery for a snack and Puuhonua o Honaunau National Historic Park.
