Madam Pele is back!

The USGS Hawaiian Volcano Observatory issues Volcano Updates for Kīlauea as activity warrants.

02/02/2024

Update…no eruption yet. Magma has moved from the summit to the middle Southwest Rift Zone.

Kilauea’s alert level just went from Advisory to Watch!!! Stay tuned!

USGS satellite images shows uplift at the summit of Kilauea volcano. Magma is rising and could potentially cause an eruption in the future. Hopefully giving us more beautiful lava views at the summit. 🌋

Happy first day of Winter also known as the Winter solstice. On this day it is the shortest daylight hours. In Hawaii, the sun rise and sun set does not change as dramatically as it does in the upper northern or far southern hemisphere during the year and the sunset occurred at 5:27 pm making it the longest night of the year. Making for beautiful star gazing opportunities all over the island.

Welcome back to our Humpback friends of the sea. One of our favorite seasons in Hawaii: Humpback whale season. Humpback whales spend the winter season in Hawaii to raise their young and compete for a mate. From late November to early March these majestic creatures can be seen breaching and smacking their tails and fins on the ocean surface. Sometimes you can even see a mother whale teaching her calf the importance of breaching or hunting for food along the volcanically formed reefs. Mele Kalikimaka and enjoy the winter season in warm tropical waters. 🐋

Snow topped Mauna Kea. Hawaii is one of the only places you can snowboard in the morning and sunbathe in the afternoon on a tropical beach. ⛄️ 🏝️

Good Morning Maunakea!

Happy Groundhog Day from The Volcano Van!🦫🌴

It’s neat watching heavy clouds pass over Kilauea’s lava lake. The heat causes mini tornadoes to form.

01/18/2023

There's nothing like the sights, sounds, and smells of a 30 acre lava lake to finish off the day.

Happy 11 year Anniversary to Scott for starting The Volcano Van Private Tours! 🎊

We love rainy days at Akaka Falls! #volcano #rainforest #rain #akakafalls #waterfall #hawail #thebigisland #privatetours #personaltours #volcanotours #bigislandtours

Looks like the rainy season my finally be here. The Laupāhoehoe stream was pretty swollen today.

Our current winter storm has had quite the effect on Akaka Falls.

The Volcano Movie of the Day: Halemaumau Lava Lake Eruption: Kilauea, Summit When: Current 3/3/11 Location: Hawai'i Island, Hawai'i Why It's Awesome! The video shows large amounts of rock from the crater rim breaking loose and falling into the boiling lava lake below. For a sense of scale, the lava lake is about 450ft. in diameter. The lake has been continuously growing since it first erupted as a small vent on the side of larger Halemaumau crater on 3/19/08. The lake has yet to breach its current pit crater to flow onto the floor of Halemaumau.
