Kilauea Lookout
Kilauea Lookout
About
Kilauea Overlook boasts the most dramatic views of Kilauea caldera and Halema'uma'u crater--the "fire pit" or collapsed crater within the caldera. During the 2018 eruption, powerful earthquakes rocked the summit and caused Halema'uma'u crater to collapse. The crater grew from 280 feet deep to about 1,600 feet deep and doubled in width.
In 2019, a first-ever lake of water formed in the crater! But in 2020, it was replaced by a 600-foot deep lake of lava. In 2023, the crater erupted briefly again followed by a period of quiet. However, Kilauea is not finished yet--and chances are, the next time you come back, this summit caldera and its collapsed crater will have changed shape again.
From the overlook, you can take the Crater Rim Trail and hike around the eastern rim of Kilauea.
