The island of Hawaii is home to one of the most active volcanoes in the world — Kilauea was erupting from 1983 until fall 2018 and has formed dynamic landscapes that are accessible to visitors. Some of the most popular attractions at the Hawaii Volcanoes National Park are the lava tubes and the craters. Get close to the action and book a tour to explore this incredible force of nature.
