Discover the dual personality of Pele (the goddess of fire) on this tour highlighting the beauty of Puna. Learn how volcanoes such as Kilauea can both destroy and create -- a phenomenon spectacularly on display in the lower east rift zone left by Kilauea's 2014 and 2018 eruptions. See the island's newest black-sand beach and learn the story behind its creation.
Along the way, stop at one of Puna's most iconic landmarks -- the Star of the Sea Painted Church dating back to 1927. Enjoy a shopping stop in charming downtown Hilo to sample and purchase local goods before returning to the pier.
