Lava
Flow
Viewing I am not doing lava viewing tours at the present time. As of June 20th the lava is flowing in Volcanoes National Park. It is a mile and a half hike to the flows and it is the best I have ever experienced. You should be staying on the Hilo side of the Island to travel to the flows. You have a seven hour round trip drive if you are staying in Kona. $150 per person We will tour the Park before going to view the flows. Tour lasts from 5-6 hours. Lava photos
