What to expect

This is a narrated private group charter tour to hiking three craters within Volcanoes National Park with 1/2 day of sightseeing along the way to get there, including black sand beach, coffee farms, tasting of Mac-nuts, honey, Kau coffee, and much more. Our must-see stops in the area for possible turtle and Nene sightings. Also the best place on the island to take honeymoon pictures. If you have 5 in your group or more, it’s much less expensive per person than a shared charter.

Get ready to witness the raw power of nature and immerse yourself in the awe-inspiring beauty of volcanic landscapes.

What to expect?

During the Triple Crater Hawaii Volcano Hiking Adventure, you can anticipate an exhilarating hike to three remarkable craters. First, you'll visit Mauna Ulu, a still-steaming crater that allows you to peer into the depths of the volcano. Next, you'll venture across the Kilauea Iki Crater floor, a spectacular hike across vents that are still emitting steam since their last eruption. This portion of the hike includes jungle trekking and a challenging climb out of the crater. Finally, if there is any lava activity or volcanic "glow," you'll have the chance to witness it at the Halema'uma'u crater, making for a memorable final stop.

Who is this for?

The Triple Crater Hawaii Volcano Hiking Adventure is suitable for adventure enthusiasts, nature lovers, and those seeking a unique and educational experience. Whether you're a solo traveler, a family, or a group of friends, this activity caters to a wide range of individuals who appreciate the natural wonders of the world. The hike is moderately strenuous, so participants should have a moderate level of fitness and be prepared for some challenging terrain.

Why book this?

This captivating hiking adventure stands out for several reasons. Firstly, you'll be accompanied by an experienced volcano guide who will provide fascinating insights into the geological history and significance of the craters you'll visit. Additionally, the tour includes not only the hiking experience but also a half-day of sightseeing along the way, allowing you to explore attractions such as black sand beaches, coffee farms, and taste local delicacies like macadamia nuts, honey, and Kau coffee. The tour also offers the opportunity to spot wildlife like turtles and Nene birds, making it an all-encompassing experience. Moreover, if you have a group of five or more, the cost per person is significantly lower than a shared charter, making it a cost-effective option for larger parties.

Good to know

Bottled water will also be available to keep you hydrated. However, alcoholic beverages are not included, so you may want to bring your own if desired. The tour will be conducted in a comfortable high-ceiling van, adding a touch of luxury to your transportation experience.
