About the Experience

Begin your day traveling through the island’s lush landscapes before reaching the legendary Hawai‘i Volcanoes National Park. Learn how these magnificent islands emerged from the depths of the Pacific Ocean as your guide shares the ancient stories of Madame Pele—the goddess of fire. Visit Kīlauea Volcano, a living reminder of Earth’s creative power, and see its craters, vents, and lava fields formed during over 30 years of continuous eruption.

Walk among the park’s surreal volcanic landscapes: the Kīlauea Iki Overlook, Thurston Lava Tube, and Halema‘uma‘u Crater—each revealing a different stage of the volcano’s evolution. Steam vents hiss and the ground still radiates heat from deep below. Along the way, you’ll explore pristine native rainforests and extinct lava fields that tell the story of resilience and rebirth. Your private helicopter segment offers a rare chance to hover above the volcanic caldera and view the vast lava plains that stretch toward the sea.
