Kilauea Iki Crater - Pāhoa, Hawaii

Aurelien Michaud

Un grand soleil et ciel bleu pour cette randonnée au cœur d'un cratère. La végétation et la typographie sont inédites pour nous. Vraiment très beau parcours, faire attention s'il fait beau : il n'y a pas d'ombre en plein milieu et le sol noir chauffe ! Inaccessible aux personnes en fauteuil roulant. Pour y entrer et en sortir soient de nombreuses et grandes marches soit un sentier en pente douce et constante

Park in the parking lot, but since it is small, I recommended to arrive early. It takes about 15-20 minutes to go down. The descent is approximately 120 meters. The path down is not rough and quite gentle, so it wasn't very difficult. Once you get down, a vast lava plain unfolds. You don't need to walk all the way to the end; going halfway is sufficient.

Great hike, 2nd time we have done it.
Recommend good shoes, lots of people in flip-flops, but there are some Rocky parts.
So interesting across the crater floor, and the hike along the rim has beautiful views, not sure of the exact elevation, but there was some huffing and puffing on the way back up !!

Amazing views. Visitor center had great information, as well as history of volcanoes. Very helpful and pleasant staff. Had to park in overflow parking to see the lava tubes, but it was a very easy and clear trail to reach the tube. Again, lovely views along there, as well. One of the stops along the crater had a rainbow over it for quite a few minutes. Was breathtaking!

Great trail. Can be a bit strenuous is some areas. Should be good for the family. If entering from the lava tube side there is a pretty good decent down to the lava field/crater. Bring water! Recommend exiting the area into the Kilaeau Byron ledge trail. It cuts across the corner of the Kilaeau crater. That will exit by the visitor’s center. You can also turn around at the Byron ledge and head back the way you came. HIGHLY RECOMMEND this hike.

素晴らしいトレイルで、数あるトレイルから一つセレクトするとなると、このトレイルとなります。

ビジターセンターより車で5分ほどの駐車場に停め周回コースを歩き出します。歩き慣れている人で休憩含め2時間ほど、予定としては3時間見ておいた方が良いです。

時計回りよりは、反時計回りの方が景観を楽しめる気がしました。また途中トイレはないので気をつけましょう。

ジャングルや火口など変化に富んだ飽きることのないハイキングが出来、多くの人が歩いているので安全です。

この国立公園を訪れたらぜひ歩いてみて下さい　※ツアーなどでは歩かないそうです

This is a place of surreal beauty! It's a very unique experience hiking through a volcano that was recently active. The hike can be challenging though, requiring some rock scrambling and a steep climb out of the crater. However, you can enjoy the beauty without having to hike. There are two nice areas to "overlook" it. I recommend viewing at sunrise. You can beat the crowds and it's also the most beautiful time of day there.

火口のどこまで行くかにもよりますが、片道2km弱のトレッキングを楽しめます。
ラバチューブの駐車場からだと、往路は下り、復路は上りになるので、体力が残ってる内に戻るようにしましょう。

素晴らしい眺めを楽しめます。
