Lava Tube Exploration

Hawaii Forest & Trail - Hidden Craters Hike


Venture onto private land behind three locked gates to explore the upper slopes of Kona’s very own volcano – Hualalai. This journey provides up close access to the site of multiple volcanic eruptions from the 1800s, all within a short distance. 

Along the tour, we’ll see a 200-year-old lava flow, spatter cones, fissures and collapsed pits. We'll also descend via earthen steps with a rope to assist into a lava tube.

Tour Highlights:

  • Exclusive private access onto Hualalai volcano and into a native forest
  • 3-4 mile hike through untouched cloud forest with incredible views of the Kona coast
  • Stand on the edge of precipitous volcanic craters that plunge deep into the earth below
  • Climb through a segment of a lava tube


Tour Inclusions:

  • Trail bar snack and water refills (please bring your own reusable bottle)
  • Walking sticks, day packs and rain jackets provided

    Hualalai's last eruption ended in 1801, so it is still considered active. However, magma is not close to the surface, so we won't see any geothermal activity.
