Kilauea Iki Overlook

Half a mile past Thurston Lava Tube on the left on Crater Rim Drive. in Hawaii Volcanoes National Park is the parking the lot for Kilauea Iki Crater which is home to one of the most amazing lava eruptions in the park’s history. In November 1959 Kilauea Iki began gushing streams of incandescent orange lava. The glowing fountains of molten earth reached heights of 1,900 feet. At one point Kilauea Iki was a 414 ft. deep lake of bubbling lava.

You can hike around its rim and across the crater on the fascinating Kilauea Iki Hike.

Location: Kilauea Iki Overlook is located in the Volcano Region
