See the Lava after Dark

After dark, we gather near the edge of Halemaumau crater to see Madame Pele’s handiwork in the lava glow and – if we’re lucky – perhaps a small eruption in the caldera! You will learn how the Hawaiian Island chain was formed and is still growing.
Lunch, dinner, and snacks are included, and we will provide walking sticks and rain ponchos for your comfort.
