Awaken your senses with some of the finest culinary treats on the Big Island, including 100% Hawaii-grown coffee, wine, and handmade chocolates made exclusively on the island. You'll also explore Kilauea Volcano, taking the road-less-traveled in a small group of no more than 12 privileged guests.
Enjoy visiting the famous Mauna Loa Mac Nut Factory for a tasting and shopping stop.
Upon arrival at Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, enjoy a leisurely stroll with your small group and your experienced guide. You'll appreciate the incredible changes the landscape has undergone since the May 2018 eruption. The Kilauea Volcano has been highly active and has changed the island in extraordinary ways. Witness how its explosive power has expanded the Halema'uma'u Crater. Walk across new lava formations and see the regeneration of the native Hawaiian rain forest in its first stages of life. Embrace this natural wonder named a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1982.
Then get ready to visit the Big Island's only winery, Volcano Winery. Nestled on the slopes of Kilauea Volcano, you will have the opportunity to enjoy an exclusive wine event that provides a glass of Volcano Winery's signature wines.
No gourmet adventure would be complete without a stop at Big Island Candies, known for their handmade macadamia nut shortbread cookies dipped in chocolate.

Outer layer should be waterproof and windproof. Wear comfortable closed-toe walking shoes. Terrain includes stairs and/or uneven surfaces, paved paths and unpaved trails. Walking on the lava formations is optional -- it is uneven terrain. Shade is limited; to avoid sunburn, wear light, long clothing suitable for use as a cover-up.

Natural sulfur gases may affect those with respiratory conditions. Kilauea is an active volcano and erupts frequently; participate at your own risk.
