Adventure travel has reached new heights: the top of a volcano. Not for the faint of heart, these tours offer a rare glimpse into the depths of the Earth.
If you’re on the Big Island of Hawaii, Volcano Live tours offer excursions to one of the world’s most active volcanoes: the Kilauea volcano on the Big Island of Hawaii. Visitors view the lava near the Island’s coast and hike to the Pu’u O’o Crater, which is the source for the volcano’s lava flow.
According to Volcano Live, 2007 has been one of the best years for lava-viewing.
If you’re interested in something more rustic, visit Costa Rica where Volcano Discovery tours offer 14-day treks. Guests will get a look at Arenal Volcano National Park, which offers great night views of the Arenal volcano right from the lodge.
Throughout the trip, guests will see seven of the most active volcanoes in Costa Rica, tropical beaches, rainforests, waterfalls, and even hot springs.
