Volcano & Tastes of Hawaii

Start your morning right with locally-grown and freshly roasted Hawaiian coffee at the famous Hilo Coffee Mill on your way to the Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. Once you arrive at the park, an experienced guide will take your intimate sized group on short leisurely strolls through lush rainforest alive with native birds, incredible foliage and a ‘walk through’ lava tube. Explore hidden overlooks off the beaten path and witness the explosive power of Halemaumau Crater. Walk across new lava formations and actually see the rebirth of the native Hawaiian rainforest in its first stages of life. Enjoy a stop at the Jaggar Museum with its real time seismographs, eruption footage and beautiful displays of lava and Hawaiian geology. Embrace this natural wonder that was named a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1982. Enjoy a picnic style specialty lunch and a complimentary glass of wine on the lush grounds of Volcano Garden Arts, a fine art gallery showcasing Hawaiian artists. A definite treat for the senses! No gourmet adventure would be complete without a stop at Big Island Candies known for their handmade macadamia nut shortbread cookies dipped in chocolate!
