There is no doubt about it, seeing Hawaii’s active volcano is nothing but incredible, and one of the must do activities when you’re visiting the Big Island. For 35 years, Mt. Kilauea has been erupting, creating new land on the youngest Hawaiian Island and showing just how powerful Mother Earth can be. A visit to the volcano, within Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, shows the devastation that has been caused over numerous eruption cycles. It is truly awe-inspiring.
Entering the national park is as if you’ve traveled back in time to a pre-historic age. The barren ground, hardened black lava, and the eerie feeling that you might see a dinosaur stomp by at any moment create the perfect environment for a little adventure. Seeing the volcano is just that, an adventure, with many possibilities for exploring this wonder of the world. Some of the sites are astounding; showcasing just what a volcano is capable of.
When it comes to visiting the volcano, it is recommended that you join a guided Hawaii volcano tour. You’ll enjoy a full-day of the must see sites of the volcano, putting you on the slopes of the world’s most active volcano. Throughout your day, an expert in all things Hawaii takes you around the volcano to sites that will blow you away. Lava tubes you can walk through, volcanic steam vents, stunning lookout points, and amazing information about the volcano are featured on a volcano tour, and that is just one option for seeing the volcano.
What if you could discover parts of the volcano inaccessible by land? We'd jump at that chance, especially since you get to see the volcano in a helicopter. Fly over the crater and active lava flows in a state of the art chopper, expertly narrated by a pilot that knows the best places to go. Hawaii helicopter tours are so much fun, and you will have picture opportunities that you will not believe.
No matter how you choose to see the volcano during your visit to the Big Island, you are going to stand, or fly, in amazement at the power of the volcano. This will be one of those sites you see that you talk about for years to come, adding just another great thing for your trip to Hawaii.
