You Don't Want To Go Here On Your Own!

Click Here for a Virtual Tour of the Lava Fields

Click here to go to the Information PageThe lava is always flowing somewhere but getting there requires guides, equipment, and years of experience to know what's safe and what isn't. We have all of the expertise and equipment required for a safe and memorable journey. For current eruption information click here.

From the end of the Chain of Craters Road you'll hike between 2 1/2 and 3 1/2 miles to the current lava flow. The lava is best viewed at night so we depart at a time which coincides with arrival just before sunset. The hike across the lava fields is spectacular in itself as you'll pass over many unusual formations and lava which may only be a few weeks old. If the lava is flowing into the sea, large steam plumes will be in view all the way. After watching this awesome display we'll put on our headlamps and man our flashlights for the journey back to the road.

Your guide knows the way, he's been there many times, and is expert at finding skylights (collapsed lava tubes containing molten lava). This is very important as there is NO MARKED TRAIL to the flow and locations and conditions can change daily. And you don't want to fall into a lava tube!

So join us for the hike of a lifetime and live to tell about it!
