Fly over the Kilauea Volcano and experience the current state of the eruption – a story millions of years in the making! Believed to have formed 300,000–600,000 years ago as the Pacific tectonic plate moved over the Hawaiian hot spot, Kilauea is the youngest and most active of the five volcanoes on Hawaii's Big Island. Its summit, standing 4,091 feet above sea level, offers a breathtaking view of the island's volcanic landscape. As you take in the stark beauty of Kīlauea's volcanic landscape, including expansive lava fields and the dramatic sight of billowing volcanic gases rising into the air, you'll feel a profound connection to the planet's raw power. During periods of volcanic activity—Kīlauea has erupted over 30 times in the past 60 years—you may even witness molten lava flows adding to the island's ever-changing terrain. Soaring above this awe-inspiring spectacle, you can sense the presence of Pele, the Hawaiian goddess of fire and volcanoes, who is said to reside within this dynamic and sacred force of nature. This tour can be enjoyed with doors on or off at not extra cost.
