A unique experience awaits you at the Thurston Lava Tube. It is a long tunnel carved thousands of years ago by molten lava. You will be able to walk inside, artificially lit to see clearly.
The Kilauea Visitor Center is an excellent starting point. You will obtain all the necessary information about the trails, the park's history, and Hawaiian culture. For a panoramic view, head to the Kīlauea Overlook. You will have a superb view of the crater and the caldera from this observation point.
A geothermal area called Steaming Bluff will show you hot steam escaping from volcanic rocks.The Kīlauea Iki Trail allows you to descend into the bottom of a collapsed ancient crater. You will be able to see up close the magma chamber from which lava once flowed.
Finally, don't miss the Volcano Winery, a vineyard on the slopes of Mauna Loa. You will be able to taste wines with a unique flavor thanks to the mineral-rich volcanic soil.
