From dramatic lava flows to lush native rainforests, you'll experience everything Hawaii has to offer. Join us as we travel down to "Uncle Roberts" in Puna. Walk over the newly formed land and feel the heat as a native Hawaiian guide leads you in search of molten lava. Feel the heat under your feet, hear the crackling of the lava and keep a keen eye out for surface outbreaks. Then we'll head to Volcanoes National Park 40 miles away, and you will experience the b eauty of Hawaiian nature as you pass wild orchids, ferns and Kahili ginger plants. Once in the Volcano Park, you'll visit Thurston lava tube, discover remarkable volcanic formations and steam vents, stop at Jagger Museum to see the awesome fury of Halemaumau Crater. This is an experience you don't want to miss!
(Generalized descriptions. Lava is a natural event and can start and stop without warning. When there is no Lava visible at Kalapana we will do an alternate high adventure hike for which our company has special permission and training from the National Park Service.)
-Hikes can have steep trail grades and are not recommended for children under 10 years old.
-Reliable closed toe and heel footwear like sneakers are required also appropriate clothing to protect you if you fall. Long pants a sleeved shirt and gloves will help protect those less confident walkers.
-Those with previous leg or foot injuries are advised not to do Lava hikes as constant surface angle change can re-aggrevate injuries.
-A store stop will be made for water and snacks, keeping properly hydrated is essential.
-These hikes have to cover some distance, all hikers must be able to retain a good pace over rough ground.
-Most common "injury" is sunburn, please bring a hat and sunscreen.
