Big Island Hawaii Volcano Drive
🚗9 mapped stops
Hawaii Volcanoes National Park is the only place on Earth where you can drive to the edge of an active volcano, peer into a caldera that glows red at night, walk through a lava tube, and stand where molten rock met the Pacific Ocean. Chain of Craters Road descends 3,700 feet from summit to sea through 700 years of eruption history. The volcano is not a relic — Kilauea has been erupting on and off since 1983.
이 투어의 정차 지점 (9)
- 1 Kilauea Visitor Center Start here for eruption updates and ranger talks — the park spans two of the world's most active volcanoes, Kilauea and Mauna Loa
- 2 Steam Vents & Sulphur Banks Volcanic heat boils groundwater into steam that rises through cracks in the earth — the smell of sulphur is the volcano breathing
- 3 Uekahuna Bluff Overlook (former Jaggar Museum) Best panoramic view of Kilauea Caldera and Halemaumau Crater — the museum was destroyed in the 2018 eruption, but the overlook endures
- 4 Kilauea Iki Overlook Peer into the crater of the spectacular 1959 eruption — a lava fountain shot 1,900 feet high for 36 days
- 5 Nahuku (Thurston Lava Tube) Walk through a 500-year-old tunnel carved by flowing lava — the tube is 20 feet high and eerily lit by the rainforest above
- 6 Keanakakoi Crater Overlook Overlook of a crater whose name means "cave of the adzes" — ancient Hawaiians quarried basalt here for tool-making
- 7 Pu'u Loa Petroglyphs Trailhead A 1.4-mile walk across pahoehoe lava to over 23,000 ancient Hawaiian petroglyphs — the largest field in the islands
- 8 Holei Sea Arch Where Chain of Craters Road ends at the Pacific Ocean — a 90-foot natural arch carved by waves into a 550-year-old lava flow
- 9 Devastation Trail A paved walk through the ghost forest left by the 1959 Kilauea Iki eruption — skeletal ohi'a trees stand in fields of cinder
