Noah WeissDecember 27, 2020The best spot to see the volcano, especially after dusk when it’s active
Upvoted Nov 19, 2024- Richard BowersAugust 30, 2014Park here, take sunscreen and water, and walk the half mile to the Thurston lava tube and the trail into the crater, where there is limited parking.
- David WaldronJuly 31, 2010The Kilauea Iki trail is one of the world's great hikes. Don't be content peering. Over the overlook. Don't forget the sunscreen.
- eric bornemannApril 27, 2023Nice view but go early to park if you want to hike before it gets crowded.

"Best view of lava can be see from a helicopter. From the ground in the evening you can see the red shadows of the flowing lava."
