Hikers look into the crater of Kīlauea Iki, or "Little Kīlauea", which last erupted in 1959. The flat base of the crater below used to be a lava lake; elevated areas of the lakebed were once floating islands of rock which collapsed from the crater walls into the molten lake.

The crater trail through the rainforest is wonderful and therefore much nicer than driving to the individual stations on the road.

Starting point of the mega hike, take plenty of water with you! It's hot in the crater!
