These are scenes which were supposedly along a route from Pu'u O'o to the Pacific Ocean in the Kilauea episode of Man vs Wild. Except for the landing site, they were, in fact, a few feet from various roads and highways used by thousands of tourists daily. Update: The original concept was that Bear Grylls would be dropped into remote areas and make his way to civilization with no help. The Discovery Channel removed this episode and several others from circulation after they were shown to be fake. Other early episodes were heavily edited to remove fake scenes, and new voice-overs were used to disclose that he received help from the crew including the building of shelters and the supplying of animals. Disclaimers on recent episodes disclose that scenes are staged.
View of Mauna Ulu volcanic vent as seen on the M v W Kilauea episode as Bear crosses hot lava. This area was last active in 1974, so there is no lava in this area. Also this vent is not visible from Pu'u O'o or any place between Pu'u O'o and the ocean. This view is from Chain of Craters Road. From this location at the 3000 foot level, Bear suddenly appears next to a forest kipuka at the end of Highway 130 at sea level and almost 60 miles away.
