My Favorite Hike in Hawaii - Halemaʻumaʻu Trail

Join me on the first half of a 1.8-mile round trip journey through lush rainforest into Kīlauea's caldera, offering stunning views of one of the world's most active volcanoes. This historic trail, established in 1846, descends 425 feet from the Volcano House to the caldera floor. The hike takes about 1-1.5 hours and reveals the dynamic story of Kīlauea's changing landscape. Hikers pass by Halemaʻumaʻu Crater, which once held a molten lava lake, and can learn about the area's rich cultural significance and colorful tourism history, including early visitors' daring stunts with lava. The trail showcases the intersection of Hawaiian cultural experience with the raw power of the land, providing a unique blend of natural wonder and historical insight."
