With room for up to 14 people, it’s a great option for families, cruise groups, or friends who want a more personal volcano adventure.

Activity Details
Your guide will handle all the driving so you can focus on the scenery. You’ll:

  • Cruise along narrow coastal roads where locals surf, slowing down so you can watch the action from the comfort of the vehicle.

  • Cross single-lane bridges and wind through jungle backroads, with your guide pointing out waterfalls, native plants, and unique island landmarks.

  • Walk out onto lava fields to search for colorful “peacock” lava and learn how these formations were created.

  • Step into the edge of a fissure for unforgettable photos and a true sense of the island’s volcanic power.

  • Enjoy extra unplanned stops when time and conditions allow—scenic viewpoints, quick photo ops, or brief shopping breaks to keep everyone in the group smiling.

This is a relaxed, small-group shore excursion built around flexibility, local knowledge, and showing you places many larger tours simply skip.
