 VOLCANO NATIONAL PARK TOUR
6 hours and up Hawaii Volcano National Park is only a 40 minute drive on Highway 11 from Hilo Airport. Unparalleled in its geologic grandeur, Hawaii Volcano National Park is a natural wonder that should not be missed. The park's numerous facilities, informative displays and miles of hiking trails allow visitors to learn about and actually get inside this active volcano.  A very active volcano, Kilauea Crater is all but explosive. It's really just a set of leaky pipes with lava oozing and bubbling from its weak seams. You can see films on the geology of Hawaii and recent eruptions at Kilauea Visitor Center. There are many endangered species living throughout the park. Hawaii Volcano Observatory provides seismic recorders that are ready to pick up the slightest movement in the earth. You will view these instruments from a window next door in the Jaggar Museum where you can learn about the different kinds of lava. Skirting the bottom of Crater Rim Drive, you will pass lava flows from eruptions as recent as 1982, and there is 450 feet long Thurston Lava Tube which you can easily hike through. It is a must see tour on the Big Island.

The helicopter tours operate either from Hilo or Kona with various length tours, it may be expensive but it is a lifetime experience.
