Discover the Secrets of Volcanoes National Park

New for 2026—Become a Lava Detective with Big Island VIP! Give us just two hours, and you’ll never look at Hawaiʻi’s volcanic landscape the same way again. This immersive experience goes beyond simply seeing Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park—we’ll teach you how to read the landscape. Begin with an approximately one-mile hike from the edge of a dramatic pit crater through native Hawaiian rainforest to a lava tube. You will different lava formations, explain how and when they were created, and reveal fascinating features most visitors would drive or walk right past. You’ll also discover how volcanoes created the Hawaiian Islands and shaped their wildlife, ecosystems, and culture. We can’t show you the entire National Park in only two hours—but we can change the way you see it. After exploring with Big Island VIP, the craters, and volcanic formations you encounter throughout the Big Island will begin to make sense. Don’t just visit a volcano—learn how to read one.
