This hike showcases the incredible features of Volcanoes National Park while emphasizing sustainable tourism and education. My custom route begins at the Kilauea Visitor Center and spans approximately 8 miles, where we'll first venture into the Halemaʻumaʻu Crater, which has been experiencing lava eruptions since December 23, 2024, occurring once every week or two.
After exploring Halemaʻumaʻu, the trail leads you into the Kilauea Iki Crater, where we can safely travel across a hardened lava lake, experiencing the unique volcanic landscape up close.
