Kilauea Summit to Shore from Kona: Small Group
Descrizione
Il vulcano Kilauea è una magnifica presenza sulla Big Island delle Hawai'i e questo tour privato per piccoli gruppi o esclusivo si concentra principalmente sul Kilauea e sul Parco nazionale dei vulcani delle Hawai'i. A causa dei diversi paesaggi di Kilauea, della straordinaria bellezza e del potenziale vasto e quasi infinito del sito; abbiamo deciso di dedicare un'intera giornata all'esplorazione del vulcano Kilauea. Per tutto il tragitto dalla sua incredibile vetta, alle sue coste in continua crescita.

Itinerario
Scopri i panorami naturali più mozzafiato delle Hawaii in un tour in furgone per piccoli gruppi ricco di vulcani imponenti, lussureggianti foreste pluviali e magnifiche coste. Scopri i numerosi microclimi e gli ambienti delle isole durante un tour che ti espone a un po 'di tutto. Dopo un comodo prelievo dal tuo hotel, viaggia verso le lussureggianti foreste pluviali che si trovano in grande abbondanza sul lato est dell'isola. Dirigiti verso Hilo attraverso Saddle Road, raggiungendo un'altitudine di quasi 6.800 piedi (2.072 m). Lungo la strada, attraversa molti dei microclimi che rendono la Big Island tra i luoghi più eccezionali al mondo. Mentre ti avvicini a Hilo, dai un'occhiata all'interno di un condotto un tempo ardente di roccia fusa dal vulcano Mauna Loa mentre la tua guida ti illumina sul significato dei tubi di lava per la creazione delle Hawaii. Dopo un breve viaggio nelle vicine grotte di Kaumana, visita Waianuenue, nota anche come Rainbow Falls. Questa straordinaria discesa di 80 piedi (24 m) ha attirato generazioni di visitatori a Hilo. Dopo pranzo all'Hilo Sharks Coffee, visita il villaggio di Pahoa e prosegui lungo la famosa Red Road, che segue la costa di Puna sul fianco sud-est del vulcano Kilauea. Questo bellissimo tratto di paradiso mette in mostra alcune delle coste più giovani e più panoramiche dell'isola. Le lussureggianti foreste pluviali lasciano il posto a scogliere nere, coste rocciose e onde che si infrangono. Il tuo viaggio lungo questa strada termina a Kalapana, una città che è stata per lo più sepolta dalla lava nel 1990. Il prossimo è il Parco Nazionale dei Vulcani delle Hawaii e la cima del vulcano Kilauea. Osserva la vasta caldera sulla cima di Kilauea, formata 500 anni fa. L'unità ti porta oltre i crateri da fossa, la terra bruciata, il terreno fumante e i flussi di lava vecchi e nuovi. Approfitta di molte opportunità per fermarti, guardarti intorno e conoscere ciò che sta accadendo sia sopra che sotto il suolo.

Driver is very personable and knows a lot about the island. He only takes small groups which makes it very comfortable. We saw a lot in 8 hours.
Scott bent over backwards to make it accommodating for us. He is very knowledgeable and knows the local area, history and customs. Took my wife and I on a tour to the shore, waterfalls, volcano and lava tubes. We stopped and got out at every place. He didn’t rush us and let us explore. Told us about local history and answered our questions! You must book with him!
Scott was an absolute joy! He was informative and accommodating. My sister and I had a great time seeing the beautiful island of Hawaii. Scott showed us beauty we will never forget.
This is the third time that we have used volcano van. And Scott is the best tour guide around. Skip all the big companies and go with this locally owned business where the owner is your driver and he knows all the great spots. He’s a true volcano nerd with a passion for the big island. You’ll be doing yourself a disservice if you don’t use volcano Van.!
Mahalo for coming back for round three! It means a lot to have returning guests who appreciate the nerdy side of volcano life. The Big Island always has something new to show off, and I’m glad I got to share it with you again. See you for round four. 🌋
What an amazing island! Scott's love for Volcanos shows as he tells you all about them. He also shares many interesting facts and knowledge of the various environments that you will pass thru during the tour. The diversity is amazing. Unfortunately we were a little rushed the day of our tour and had very typical January weather, so some of our photos are not what you would hope for scenery wise, Scott also liked to avoid the crowds and venture where the crowds were not. I too like to go to the more less traveled areas, but sometimes you have to deal with the crowds a bit, especially at overlooks and such that don't require a walk or hike. I would have liked to have spent a little more time exploring Kīlauea Crater Rim. But the weather kept us moving quick as we tried to beat it to upcoming points of interest.
Aloha, and thank you for such a thoughtful and detailed review. I’m glad you enjoyed learning about Hawaiʻi’s volcanoes and the incredible diversity of landscapes across the island. You’re absolutely right that January weather can move quickly here, and that day required us to stay flexible to keep ahead of changing conditions and visibility. When possible, I focus on locations that offer a better overall experience than crowded viewpoints. Some overlooks are brief photo stops, while quieter areas allow for more time, perspective, and understanding of the landscape itself. That said, I completely understand wanting more time along Kīlauea’s crater rim, especially when conditions allow. Every tour is shaped by weather, timing, and what’s happening on the ground in real time, and my goal is always to make the best calls for safety, flow, and experience as the day unfolds. I appreciate you sharing your perspective and am glad you were able to experience so much of the island despite the challenging conditions. Mahalo for spending the day exploring Hawaiʻi with me.
Scott was amazing. He made the tour fun and was very knowledgeable. He is a friendly guy and easy to talk to. We had a great time and would absolutely recommend The Volcano Van Private Tours.
Mahalo for the wonderful review. I’m really glad you had such a fun day and enjoyed the stories and stops along the way. It was great spending the day with you, and I appreciate the recommendation.
We've been to the park several times in the past, but this experience with Scott with The Volcano Van was fantastic! Scott is so knowledgeable about Volcanoes that he could work for the geological pros! Loved our adventures for the day, including the Lava Tube, and a stop at Punalu'u Bakery. Scott was prepared, most attentive and professional during my clumsy fall! Nothing broke, just banged up, and we were able to complete the day's activities. The lunch was awesomely delicious and plenty of water was provided. The pick-up and drop-off at our resort was an extra bonus. Highly recommend this excursion with Scott!
Mahalo nui loa for sharing such a thoughtful review. I am glad your day in the park felt fresh and exciting even after visiting before. The volcanoes always have new stories to share and I enjoy bringing them to life. It means a lot that you noticed the details, from the lava tube and Punaluʻu Bakery stop to the food and water on hand. I was happy to help after your fall and even happier we could still enjoy the full adventure together. Thank you for recommending The Volcano Van. I hope to see you back on the island for more discoveries.
Scott was very knowledgeable about the Big Island. We saw so many amazing parts of the island. He made the tour so much fun. I would highly recommend The Volcano Van.
We had an amazing time on tour with Scott. He was extremely knowledgeable and made us feel extremely safe and comfortable on our drive south of Kona. This is honestly a must do if you are visiting the island to catch some of the most amazing landmarks here. Don’t miss out on this one. My son was super happy at the end of this day! Thank you Scott !
Scott was a great tour guide! He was very knowledgeable. It was a great day! Loved the small group experience.
