About this experience

Churches in Volcano is a guided tour of historic Christian congregations in Volcano Village, Hawaii, on the Big Island. The activity visits active and former church buildings that date from the 1860s to the 1930s, including stone and timber structures built by Hawaiian and immigrant communities. Each stop includes a short talk on the congregation's history, architecture, and role in the surrounding rainforest settlement.

What to expect

  • The tour lasts 2 hours and covers 4 churches within a 1.5-mile radius of Volcano Village centre.
  • Visitors enter the 1868 stone Church of the Holy Cross and see its original koa wood altar and stained-glass windows.
  • At the 1929 Japanese Buddhist temple-turned-Christian chapel, the guide explains the 1900s plantation labour history.
  • The tour includes a 15-minute seated talk inside the 1932 timber-frame Church of the Good Shepherd, with views of the adjacent lava tube.
  • Suitable for adults and children over 10, with flat gravel paths and no stairs at any of the four stops.
  • Each visitor receives a printed map with the churches' construction dates and a list of current Sunday service times.
