HAWAI‘I VOLCANOES DELUXE NATURE ADVENTURE ITO-011
Approximate Duration: 6 hours Level 2 / Meal / Age Restrictions
Join this intimate and educational adventure to earth’s most active volcano – Kilauea in Hawai‘i Volcanoes National Park. Over the years
we have learned the best stops and short walks that reveal the essence of Kilauea. Your naturalist guide will share with you the wonders
of this special place. Your journey begins from the pier, where an air-conditioned passenger van will take you from sea level up the slope
of the world’s largest volcano, Mauna Loa, to an elevation of 4,000 feet and the summit of Kilauea, where you will visit the National
Park Headquarters. Explore the park’s natural features both by vehicle and with short walks. And, of course, if flowing lava is accessible
we will make that a priority.

wear sturdy, closed-toe shoes and we recommend you dress in long pants and a light jacket. Lunch, bottled water, beverages and gear are included. Seeing

- WAIPIO VALLEY ADVENTURES -
Visit one of the most beautiful valleys and secret spots in the Hawai‘ian Islands! Considered by many as one of most beautiful places on
earth, Waipio is often referred to as the Valley of the Kings since it was once home to many of the Ali‘I (royalty). Here, in 1780, King
Kamehameha was proclaimed future ruler of the Hawai‘i Islands. In addition to its beauty and history, the valley is home to many stories
of the gods and the site of many important heiau (shrine). Your adventure begins with a scenic drive up the Hamakua Coast to Waipi’o;
lush and green the valley is remote and not easily accessible to the public. Let your imagination come alive as your Hawai‘i-born guide’s

cliffs, taro fields, tropical plants, and conditions permitting you may even view cascading waterfalls. Upon arrival at Waipio, a stop will
