Climb aboard your SUV tour vehicle for memorable and exotic Big Island Volcano Tours to Puna, home to the most spectacular volcanic and natural sights on the Big Island. The Secrets of Puna KapohoKine Adventures with Kona pickup will start with a scenic drive between the 2 majestic volcanoes that make up the bulk of Hawaii Island, Mauna Loa and Mauna Kea. Enjoy a delicious continental breakfast en route from Kona with baked goods and fresh Kona coffee.
Kilauea Volcano has been erupting since 1983, adding more than 700 acres of new land to the island. This creation comes at a price, and, as you continue on these Big Island Volcano tours, watch an audio-visual presentation showing footage of the many eruptions. Hear stories of life in Kalapana from the former residents who witnessed the destruction of their homes a few years ago! Next on these Hawaii Volcano Tours, walk across the lava to visit Kaimu, the site of the most beautiful black sand beach in the world, entombed since 1990 under 75 ft of lava. A stop at MacKenzie State Park reveals dramatic cliffs of lava overlooking the breathtaking blue waters of the Pacific.
These Hawaii Volcano Tours include a Hawaiian-style BBQ lunch prepared by your guide and made from locally sourced produce at a private working macadamia nut and honey farm complete with the beverage of your choice including chilled French Champagne and cold locally brewed beer. Take a drive across the alien terrain of black lava fields before heading to a sheltered black lava lagoon. Swim with giant green sea turtles and tropical fish, explore the coastline, or simply relax along the shore before returning. A perfect way to end your adventure to Puna!
