Here’s a sample list of some of the many attractions and activities the students will see and do on this trip. This trip is going to be so much fun and the students are going to learn so much!
Study volcanology at the Kilauea Visitor Center, hike through volcanic craters, scalded deserts, and lush rainforests; walk into an actual lava tube and see two active volcanoes. This 300,000-acre national park is home to Kilauea Volcano, one of the most active volcanoes in the world!
Visit one of the most famous black sand beaches in the world. These beaches get their color from volcanic lava contacting the ocean—as the lava cools rapidly, it shatters into small basalt fragments giving the beach its black color. >Visit one of the most famous black sand beaches in the world.

Climb the 99 stairs to the top of Diamond Head, a well-known landmark of the Honolulu Volcanic Series. This 763 foot volcanic tuff cone summit boasts an exhilarating 360-degree panoramic view!
The USS Arizona Memorial, at Pearl Harbor in Honolulu, Hawaii, marks the resting place of 1,102 of the 1,177 sailors and Marines killed on USS Arizona during the Japanese surprise attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, and commemorates the events of that day.
Board a catamaran for a cruise to Kealakekua Bay, a Marine Life Conservation District. Snorkel in the brilliant blue waters and see vibrant coral, tropical fish, and on occasion, spinner dolphins. The Bay has historical significance too, as it marks the spot Captain James Cook first landed on Hawaii Island in 1778.
You’ll start in a lush rainforest and descend to the floor of the Kilauea Iki Crater, a solidified lava lake which still contains many active steam vents. The vibrant colors and varied wildlife of the rainforest is a stark contrast to the steam vents, cinder cones, and splatter cones found in the crater.
Enjoy a traditional Hawaiian Luau and authentic Polynesian show. Students will learn how to play the ukulele, participate in a hula dance, and discuss the local legends and the cultural connections the Hawaiian people have to the land. This is a Hawaiian favorite you don’t want to miss!
Located on the summit of Mount Kilauea, this underground lava lake has formed a crater that’s nearly 3,000-feet in diameter and over 200-feet deep. Students will enjoy a night hike to the crater and stop along the way for stargazing in the pitch-black, unpolluted sky.
