Day 1: The Lava Proximity Hike

Located partly within Hawai’i Volcanoes National Park, active and recent lava flows cover the coastal plain of Kilauea, growing the island while encroaching on civilization. Whether by land, sea or air, to witness active lava is an unmatchable experience every time, when the volcano goddess Pele, the conditions and the authorities allow.
