After a visit to the historic Pahoa town, the beautiful Lava Tree Park awaits us. At the easternmost part of the island, we travel to the Kapoho Bay and tide pools. The air is as pristine here than any in the world and the Ahalanui pools are volcanically heated up to 91-95 degrees! Let's take a few moments for a quick dip....
Driving along the scenic Red Dirt Road we pass through lava stretches with gigantic waves crashing and awesome tunnel-like flora, as well as fauna and trees.
Entering Kalapana is humbling and inspirational, the former village was covered by lava during the 1983 eruption. Nearby is lava access road where in a distance of 1/2 mile we will take a hike to the active ‘a’a lava flow. There we will be standing face to face with red Madame Pele. This is the time to make your offerings to the Goddess of volcanoes.
After our tour we return to Hilo relaxed...
