There are no MARKED TRAILS to the surface flows!

We will provide you with current information by our customers and maps for your hike.

Please use caution hiking over the raw lava field, especially near cracks, and steam vents. The edges of these features are often unstable and can be slippery.

Please take your time hiking and watch your steps! Hiking over cracks and holes, loose rock, and thin lava crust harbors risk of getting hurt. Falling on lava may result in severe wounds.

WEAR STURDY SHOES AND LONG LIGHTWEIGHT HIKING PANTS. Falling on lava is like falling on broken glass and/or a VERY rough pumice stone. We recommend to wear leather gloves.

DRINK PLENTY OF WATER, AND KEEP YOURSELVES AND YOUR CHILDREN SAFE!
