✈️ Oahu to Big Island - Hilo Volcano Tour

From Oahu, fly to Hawaii's Big Island for a day and experience a guided volcano tour. A visit to Hawaii Volcanoes National Park will inform you about the seismic activity that's been a constant on the Big Island and the culture that sprang up around it. You'll see Mauna Loa, the world's largest volcano, and Kilauea, the world's most active volcano.

You'll also see other dormant volcanoes, lava beds and steam vents while discovering the legends meant to explain these natural phenomena. While there is no guarantee of a red-hot lava flow sighting, you may see a smoldering crater or a steam vent. By the tour's end you'll know exactly how and why volcanoes occur.
