Frequently asked questions

When is the best time to go to Kalapana?
The best time to visit Kalapana is during the dry season, which typically runs from May to October.

The ocean conditions are also generally calmer, which is great for swimming and snorkeling. This period offers the most consistent weather for sightseeing and enjoying the natural beauty of the Puna district.
