Volcano Twilight

Night-time viewing at Halemau'mau Crater - Starting at $120

“Volcano Twilight” is a fully guided and narrated tour through the amazing Hawaii Volcanoes National Park for sightseeing, exploring and nighttime viewing into the steamy, glowing Halemau’mau Crater.

Our Volcano Park is the only National Park that has two active volcanoes. On this tour you will discover the most active, Kilauea, which has been erupting continuously since the early 1980’s. Inside the park your tour guide will show you to the Visitor’s Center, Jagger Museum, the Thurston Lava Tube (which includes a 10-minute easy hike through the lava tube!), active steam vents, sulfur banks, scenic lookouts and finally your tour vehicle will stop at the Halemau’mau Crater lookout where you will enjoy an amazing view inside the crater after sunset. The molten lava just below the crater’s surface creates a dramatic glow and a unique ambiance, a perfect setting as you enjoy a picnic style dinner provided by your tour guide

While we have the capacity to easily and comfortably accommodate large groups, we mostly provide one tour guide and vehicle for each group of 8 people. This way our tour guides are able to give more attention to each group and our tours have a more intimate and laid-back atmosphere.
This tour also includes a stop at the famous Rainbow Falls in Hilo, and snacks and beverages are also provided throughout the tour.

“Volcano Twilight” is approximately 4.5 – 5 hours from start to finish if you are departing from Hilo, or approximately 9 hours if you depart from Kona. (The tour departing from Kona also includes the scenic Saddle Road drive.) Departure times vary throughout the year according to the sunset. You will be given your exact departure time when you reserve your tour.
