Nui Pohaku
The sightseeing tours offered by Nui Pohaku Adventure Tours specialize in seeing the spectacle that is the Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. Departing from the Queen Lili'uokalani Gardens in Hilo these tours offer an extensive tour of the volcano area taking approximately eleven hours. You're Nui Pohaku Adventure Tour will be personalized to no more than twelve passengers as you visit every important aspect of the national park. You will see the amazing Halemaumau Crater which Mark Twain chronicled in the eighteen-hundreds and its fiery outpouring of molten lava and dense white smoke and gas. While at that location you will be taken to the Jagger Museum to see the various exhibits, both scientific and historical, regarding the volcanic activity of this area. You'll have an opportunity to walk through the tropical rainforest and enter the amazing Thurston Lava Tube which in places is so large you could drive a train through and you'll be able to walk out on the black sand beaches on the lower portion of the park and see the area where the lava is flowing into the sea from the Pu'u O'o vent higher on the slopes.…

Product: Volcano and Lava Combo Tour (sightseeing) - Hilo Pick Up
Description: Your day begins with a fully narrated drive from the Hilo area to the Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. Experience the most Kilauea Volcano has to offer! Explore the Volcanoes National Park with an intimate size group and then travel down to the Puna Coast to view the lava on the active side of Kilauea Volcano. Once you arrive at the park, an experienced guide will lead you on short leisurely hikes through lush rainforests alive with native birds, incredible foliage and a "walk through" lava tube. Explore hidden overlooks off the beaten path and witness the explosive power of Halema'uma'u Crater. Enjoy a stop at the Jagger Museum with its real time seismographs, eruption footage and beautiful displays of lava and Hawaiian geology.
You will then travel down the "Red Road" where the scenery is amazing as you weave through the rainforest and take in the jagged cliffs overlooking the crystal blue waters of the Pacific Ocean. Walk out to the new black sand beach at Kaimu, which has forever been changed by the lava flows in the early 1990's. Next stop, search for molten lava! Your guide will take you on a short hike over the lava fields to view the incredible molten lava streaming down the mountain from the Pu'u O'o vent. See lava in motion as it descends down to the sea. As the sun sets, you will experience a dramatic change in the landscape as the fire from the sea becomes alive in the darkness of this remote area. Throughout the tour your guide will share with you history and geology of the area during the frequent stops along the way - an exciting and active way to spend the day discovering how lava has changed our land forever. *
