Itinerary

Maunaloa

Exploring Hawaii Island’s explosive side on foot is what this tour is all about. Hike Kilauea lava flows dating back to 1881 up to the historic flows of 2018. First, you’ll travel across Saddle Road between Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa, two of the tallest and most massive volcanoes on Earth. Your National Park Service certified guide will discuss the volcanology, geology, and history of these monstrous wonders, as well as providing in-depth narration on the various lava flows and flora and fauna that you’ll be passing by.

1 hour 30 minutes
Kaumana Caves Park

Explore Kaumana Caves, part of the lava tube system that brought lava as close as 1.5 miles from downtown Hilo in 1881. Take a peek inside the dramatic cathedral-like space.

30 minutes
N/A

Enjoy a scenic drive thru Hilo town where you’ll drive along the historic waterfront before stopping at KapohoKine Adventures store to pick up supplies.

15 minutes
Hawaii Volcanoes National Park

Next travel to the crown jewel of the Big Island, Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. Briefly visit the Kilauea Iki Overlook before heading off on foot down the paved road to Keanakakoi. Check out the activity here from the historic 2018 eruption which buckled the road and caused racks and sinkholes. You’ll get a birds-eye view of the Kilauea Caldera and the enormous Halema’uma’u Crater, along with views of the trail you will take into the Caldera. This trail has been used to hike into the caldera since being established in 1846. Mark Twain was once rescued by native guide Alex Lancaster using this trail. It’s about 2 miles roundtrip taking you past the famous Sulphur Banks, through ancient forests of tree ferns, some as old as 1,000 years. Look for native birds, such as the yellow ‘amakihi and the red ‘apapane. Huge boulders came to rest here during ancient rock slides and eruptions. Look for marks left by previous visitors such as Benjamin Boyd, a Scot, and John Webster, a California artist, from back in 1851. Reaching the floor of Kilauea Calder there is an incredible rock slide to your left, evidence of the 2018 eruption, and Halema’uma’u Crater before you. The Crater increased in size during the eruption with the lava lake draining out of it leaving behind an enormous 1,000 foot deep pit. Return to civilization at Volcano House for some beautiful views.

Full Day...Phenomenal Day

Published on Feb, 2023

This is a FULL day with lots of hiking...we logged over 20K steps and nearly 6 miles. This experience was amazing, culminating with a spectacular night view over the edge of the erupting Kilauea volcano. Wear hiking / walking shoes and bring layers of clothing...the range of temperatures from near freezing to warm can make this a miserable experience if not dressed appropriately. Also, plan for rain as this is a very wet area on Hawaii. You do not want to miss this great opportunity, especially if you are generally active/athletic. Would not recommend for young children, or those who are mobility limited.

Great trip. Great memory

Published on Mar, 2022

Adam our tour guide took us to great spots. His narrative was both informative and humorous. Hiking through a volcano crater floor is definitely the highlight of the evening. We highly recommend this trip. The viator description doesn't do it justice. We did so much more than what was listed. Dinner at the Lava Cafe was delicious and the evening ended with view of live lava in one of the active crater. High recommended.

KapohoKine adventures

Published on Feb, 2020

I booked 3 tours with KapohoKine . I was staying in Kona and was picked up for each of the tours. I was really impressed with the excellent professionalism, friendliness and depth of knowledge of all the tour guides, making my trip to the Big Island a truly memorable one. Mahalo !

Best day/ excursion on the Big Island!

Published on Feb, 2020

My mom and I had THE BEST DAY!!! Nick was our guide for the day and was so incredibly compassionate and accommodating towards my mom when she got a bit of motion sickness. He was early to pick us up and even took us on a mini excursion to see some beautiful caves! We were so blessed with an amazing group as well! Every staff member we encountered was thoughtful and considerate. They provided lunch and made us dinner at the winery! Thank you Nick and team for ending our trip with an amazing experience!!! 100/ 10

Another Great Kapohokine Trip

Published on Dec, 2019

Took this trip on Thanksgiving. Kapohokine always offers some unique excursions on Thanksgiving that get you away from the hotel buffet for dinner. I was excited to see a new trip when trying to book something. This did not disappoint. Lori, our guide, was very accommodating to our small group and took a few detours off the agenda to catch some additional sites. I’ve been to the Big Island many times over the years but this trip included a ton of things I’ve not seen before that I can’t wait to go back and check out again. Must do on the Island.
