When we visited Vocano area, the weather was not that good... Rainy and foggy... But, this Kilauea Iki Trail was amazing. From the top, we could not see the whole crater, but when we got down there, we could see an amazing view. We were in the middle of a holy place. On the floor, the steam is still coming... More

My husband hiked this trail early morning (7 am) we had the trail all to ourselves. It was a little foggy but perfect temperature. We purchased the booked that tells you info. about the trail, you can get this for couple of dollars from the start of the trail. We thoroughly enjoyed the hike, we feasted on some berries along...

One of my main rasons for making a trip to the big island was to experience the Klauea Iki Trail. The trail is an impressive hike. The hike is about 1.5-2 hours and is an easy walk on a descending trail. There are numerous places where you can enter. I highly suggest you do this trail if you make a... More

A must see if you are on the Big Island. Walk with the volcanos. The volcano chat with the volunteer at the Jagger museum is worth the wait. Very informative. Although the trails and museum are open late , the visitor center closes promptly at 5 and they stop showing the video at 4. Our government at its best. Remember,... More

My husband and I (in our early 60s) did this hike, and enjoyed every minute of it. It is not terribly difficult, except the last climb back up--what descends 400 feet must eventually ascend. My husband has mild Parkinson's Disease, and was still able to manage with a few stops along the way. One thing would have helped both of... More

This hike is relatively gentle, goes through forest and into the crater. It took me about an hour and a half. I did a couple hikes in the Park and this was my favorite.

About 3.5 miles around, this hike is amazing. It's not difficult: one steep decent (maybe 300 ft) and one steep climb back up. It's well worth it. The crater formed in 1959, and you can hike right along the bottom of it. There are still steam vents and the landscape is completely sparse with nothing but buckled layers of basalt.... More

We spent a wonderful day at the Kilauea volcano with some hiking. Very amazing scenery. Make sure you bring plenty of water to drink....
