Discover the source of Hawaii Island’s creation and witness ancient craters at the sprawling Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. Peer into the depths of Halema'uma'u Crater, which has remarkably doubled in size since the 2018 eruption that drastically altered the island’s landscape. Watch steam clouds form as groundwater seeps into hot volcanic rock at the steam vents.

Drive down scenic Chain of Craters Road and gaze at sweeping coastal views at Kealakomo Overlook, where older lava flows melted into the ocean. Later, drive through the formerly tsunami-stricken city of Hilo and down Banyan Drive and drive past Liliuokalani Park and Gardens on this comprehensive volcano adventure tour. A take-out picnic lunch from Millie’s Deli is included in this tour.
