Good to know before you go
  • As of April 2025, the tour is focused on the summit region of Kilauea volcano with many stops and short walks to viewpoints in the national park. Currently, the longest walk is 0.5 miles on the Thurston lava tube trail. We reserve the right to adjust walking paths as conditions allow, some trails may be up to 2 miles roundtrip. Tour guests may opt to wait at a lookout or the vehicle as needed.
