Please read the following important information:

 1. We strongly advise that you visit the Volcanoes National Park website to familiarize yourself with the park and the safety and health warnings.  http://www.nps.gov/havo/   - under “Plan your visit” be sure to click on “safety”.

 2. Island weather is unpredictable. Visitors should be prepared for rain and wear layers of clothing to ensure their comfort while exploring the park.  You should bring a light jacket and wear comfortable walking shoes.

Local weather at Kilauea's summit (4000' elevation) varies daily and may be rainy and chilly any time of the year. Temperature varies by elevation. At the summit of the volcano, temperatures may be 12 to 15 degrees cooler than at sea level. The coastal plain at the end of Chain of Craters Road, where lava crossed the road in 2003, is often hot, dry, and windy with the possibility of passing showers.

 3. Please keep in mind that weather conditions, volcanic activity, or excessive sulfur dioxide fumes could prevent us from taking the tour.  We will provide an alternative tour should this happen.
