Punalu'u Bake Shop

Punalu'u Black Sand beach

This magnetic beach is a favorite for the endangered Hawaiian sea turtles or Honu. Visitors flock here to take pictures and see what a black sand beach looks like. Without a doubt, it's amazing! You can really feel the magnetic earth energies as you walk across the beach. The beach was formed by lava exploding upon contact with the ocean, which paves the way for our final attraction on the tour, Volcanoes National Park - and more importantly - the home of the ever-creative Madame Pele, Hawaii's fire goddess.

Duration 20 minutes

Hawaii Volcanoes National Park

Home to Madame Pele and a plethora of anomalous magnetic anomalies, Hawaii Volcanoes National Park is the penultimate vortex of the Big Island, inspiring creativity and grounding for many. Tune in and give thanks for the inspiration that is almost guaranteed to be a side effect of spending time in Madame Pele's presence. Feel active steam vents, venture through a lava tube, and journey across Kilauea Iki on an otherworldly hike through time.

Duration 120 minutes

The experience can be subject to change due to bad weather or unforseen circumstances. We always endeavour to give you the best possible experience.
