Lava Hikes walk you to See Lava on the Big Island of Hawaii
Full Description
Lava Hikes Walk you to See Lava as lava flows advance across the land.
Join us as at “Uncle Roberts” in Puna on a lava hike to visit Madame Pele. Walk over recent lava flows and feel the heat as our native Hawaiian guides lead you to find molten lava. Feel the heat under your feet, hear the crackling of the lava while keeping an eye out for surface outbreaks. This is an experience you don’t want to miss!
Lava is a natural event and can start and stop without warning. When there is no Lava visible at Kalapana the tour will access private lands to bring you as close as possible to the current front of the most recent lava flows.

I am very interested in doing this hike. I would like to know if we are near the flow in the early evening / late afternoon – making it easier to see and photograph the hot lava?
I will be on the big island in late March of 2012.
I find the sunrise to be my favorite however the sunset also can offer a special experience
Hi Shane,
Where is Puna/Kalapana? How far is it driving from Waikoloa?
Also– the 4pm departure- when does it return?
