Embark on a breathtaking adventure seeking out the island’s unique and newly formed landscapes.
Get your camera ready as you come upon Kilauea’s Iki Crater and Hale Ma’uma’u Volcano Crater. As one of the most active volcanoes on earth, and considered to still be active, view several steam vents and the ever-changing landscape.
Next, as weather permits, you’ll tour over to the Mauna Loa (meaning ‘Long Mountain’ in Hawaiʻian). Mauna Loa has historically been considered the largest volcano on earth sitting over 13 thousand feet above sea level with it’s base going 5-miles into the ocean floor. This enormous volcano covers half of the Island of Hawaii. View the remnants of the last eruption which occurred in November 2022.
