About
Sulphurous smoke rises from the ground; glowing lava spouts out from Kilauea and streams into the nearby Pacific, where it hisses, fumes, and congeals into rock. In the background, the snow-topped peak of Mauna Kea looms in the crystal-clear blue sky. Without a doubt, the Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, the home of the Hawaiian goddess Pele, is one of the most mythical and impressive places anywhere on earth
Visit one of the youngest and most active volcanoes on our planet: see the Earth be created right before your eyes! See attractions like the Punaluu Black Sand Beach and the Jaggar Museum and just enjoy the view over Kealakekua Bay on this tour.
