Meet in Volcano
Get the Most from Volcanoes National Park
We would love for you to see lava, but we cannot control whether that is possible.
If there is lava the day before your tour we will ask if you would like to start earlier. We have not had consistent lava since 2022, so we have pulled our 5 AM start time for now; it was the most popular back when lava was consistent.
** If you book directly with us we give you bonus lists of things to do and we also give you suggested routes back to where you are staying as a way of thanking you for supporting us. Please let us know if you have any questions! We want you to have the BEST DAY POSSIBLE and a great time visiting the Big Island. **
3 Hours
• A National Park Certified Interpretive Guide (Volcanoes National Park).
• 3 hours of time – for most people, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to visit the world’s most active volcano, and most people want to see as much of the National Park as possible.
• If you would like to add time on the day of the tour, it’s $150/hour.
• Hand sanitizer, wipes, paper towels, sunscreen.
• Use of binoculars, 4 trekking poles, plastic ponchos, and umbrellas.
• Bottled water.
• Snacks such as trail mix, chips, and granola bars. We include gluten-free snacks such as nuts and Hawaiian Chips.
• Private transportation in an air-conditioned vehicle with DVD media.
• Free photos of the family/group uploaded to Smugmug. See family photos here https://bigislandvip.smugmug.com
• A light raincoat is best for the rainforest areas of the National Park. Hawaii is the rainest State in the U.S. so you may need a raincoat several times.
• Closed-toe shoes are best. Lava rocks are sharp and we don’t want you to cut your toes. You do not need hiking shoes on this tour, as most paths are paved.
• A hat can be useful.
• If you have a handicapped parking pass it can help reduce walking. All States and countries are recognized in Hawaii.
• If you collect National Park stamps, bring your stamp book.
• If you have children under 8 please bring your own car seats and boosters.
• Lunch
• Gratuities for your guide.
• We do not allow wet food to be consumed in our vans, only dry snacks like we provide.
• If you would like more time please book the longer tour, or pay cash on the day.
This day is action-packed as it is. If you want to do some hiking, I recommend booking the longer tour.
