Hidden Craters Hike on Hualalai
Private access onto Hualalai volcano — a 3-4 mile cloud forest hike past volcanic craters and through a lava tube.
About this experience
Kona has its own volcano, Hualalai, and almost nobody gets onto it. This trip has exclusive private access: a three to four mile hike through untouched native cloud forest, along the edges of volcanic craters that plunge deep into the earth, and through a section of lava tube.
Five hours, ages 8 and up, with several short stops along the way. Views run down the Kona coastline the whole time. The best half-day hike on the island for guests who want something genuinely off-limits to the general public.
Highlights
- Exclusive private access onto Hualalai volcano
