Triple Crater Hawaii Volcano Hiking Adventure

Overview
Hike with an experienced volcano guide to not one, but THREE of the major craters of Mount Kilauea in Hawaii Volcanoes National park in one day!  Truly an awesome and unique experience hiking these awesome attractions!
1) Mauna Ulu, an impressive still-steaming crater where you can peer down into the depths of the volcano!
2) Across Kilauea Iki Crater floor, a spectacular hike across the still steaming vents since it's last eruption! Includes jungle hiking and an impressive but challenging climb out of the crater! Don't worry, you can do it!
3) Currently there is lava activity within the Halema'uma'u crater, but this is a regularly changing event. Assuming there is any activity, or even volcanic "glow" we will definitely include this in our tour as a final stop.

Including both deli-style lunch and local-style dinner, as well as transport in style in a Benz high-ceiling van, this moderately strenuous hike will leave a lasting impression of Hawaii's awesome volcanoes.

Mike Nelson is a fabulous guide. Cannot recommend this tour highly enough. The trip is fairly strenuous, and I wouldn't recommend it to people not already in okayish shape. You don't need to be a super athlete or anything, but if you can't walk for roughly 4 hours on a variety of surfaces, up and downhill, at a brisk pace, maybe consider a less challenging tour. As for the actual tour, it was EXACTLY what my wife and I were looking for. Breathtaking sights, a nice workout walking, good conversation with the guide and other guests, lunch and dinner included, and transportation that was very accommodating. Just perfect. I prefer this tour over a helicopter tour because you see plenty of amazing views, but you actually traversing and feeling the landscape around you.

I was so fortunate to experience this tour with another solo traveler Hana and our amazing guide Mike. A group of 10 rescheduled, so we got to experience so much during this whole day tour. The hiking was absolutely my favorite part of this tour. However, everything we did was excellent from the fruit stand on the side of the road, black sand beach with green sea turtles, local coffee farm in the South, lunch at an amazing portuguese bakery (hot pastrami sandwich delish), and dinner at the Rock's uncle's diner (rice with oxtail soup and macadamia pies delish). Mike is so kind and extremely knowledgeable and I can't wait to come back and take another tour with him. Thank you for an amazing time.

The triple crater tour is an excellent choice. Hike the crater floors of two of the Bog Islands most active volcanoes, with steam vents and a reminders of their recent activity. The diversity of the topography is incredible, while one crater feels like a walk on the moon, the second begins and exits through beautiful tropical rain forests. The hike itself is great, but, made so much better by the guide Mike. Knowledgeable, friendly, concerned and by days end you feel like you have been lifetime friends. Food stops are very good and the convenience of hotel pickup awesome. We arrived during a stagnant tropical low, which resulted in non-stop rain in the National Park for nearly a week. The company left the choice up to us whether to risk the weather or not when the forecast remained questionable. We lucked out and it was one of the best weather days of the month. Company has great integrity ! Do not miss this opportunity.
