Kilauea Volcano is one of the most active volcanoes on earth, the eruption sights can change from time to time, and as of now the best way to see active lava is at Halemaumau Crater. There are many different lookouts around the park. On the day of your visit, ask a park ranger where the best spot to watch the eruption from a safe distance based on the conditions.
• Are the trails difficult or suitable for any cyclist? The tour route consists of paved roads and trails in the Hawaii Volcanoes National Park which are moderate-level and are suitable for recreational cyclists. All cyclists are required to have the ability to ride a bicycle confidently, beginners are not allowed. All cyclists are encouraged to bike at their own pace.
