Descrição
O Vulcão Kilauea é uma presença magnífica na Grande Ilha do Havaí e este pequeno grupo ou tour privado exclusivo se concentra principalmente no Kilauea e no Parque Nacional dos Vulcões do Havaí.

Todo o caminho desde seu incrível cume, até suas margens sempre crescentes.
Opções de passeio
Itinerário
Descubra as vistas naturais mais deslumbrantes do Havaí em um passeio de van em grupo pequeno, repleto de vulcões imponentes, florestas tropicais exuberantes e magníficas costas. Experimente os muitos microclimas e ambientes das ilhas durante um passeio que o expõe a um pouco de tudo. Após uma coleta conveniente em seu hotel, viaje para as exuberantes florestas tropicais encontradas em grande abundância no lado leste da ilha. Faça o seu caminho para Hilo pela Saddle Road, alcançando uma altitude de quase 6.800 pés (2.072 m). Ao longo do caminho, passe por muitos dos microclimas que fazem da Big Island um dos lugares mais excepcionais do mundo. Ao se aproximar de Hilo, olhe para dentro de um canal de rocha derretida do Vulcão Mauna Loa, uma vez escaldante, enquanto seu guia o esclarece sobre o significado dos tubos de lava para a criação do Havaí. Após uma rápida viagem às cavernas de Kaumana, nas proximidades, confira Waianuenue, também conhecida como Rainbow Falls. Essa queda impressionante de 24 metros atraiu gerações de visitantes de Hilo. Após o almoço no Hilo Sharks Coffee, visite a vila de Pahoa e siga pela famosa Red Road, que segue a costa de Puna, no flanco sudeste do vulcão Kilauea. Este belo trecho do paraíso exibe algumas das costas mais jovens e pitorescas da ilha. Exuberantes florestas tropicais dão lugar a falésias negras, costas rochosas e ondas quebrando. Sua jornada por esta estrada termina em Kalapana, uma cidade que foi enterrada principalmente por lava em 1990. O próximo é o Parque Nacional dos Vulcões do Havaí e o cume do vulcão Kilauea. Contemple a vasta caldeira do cume de Kilauea, formada há 500 anos. A unidade leva você a passar por crateras, terra arrasada, terra fumegante e fluxos de lava antigos e novos. Aproveite muitas oportunidades para parar, olhar em volta e aprender sobre o que está acontecendo tanto acima quanto abaixo do solo.

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.
