Epic hike! If going from and back to the visitor centre, plan on 2 hours to get to the volcano floor and 3-4 hours to get back to the visitor centre plus time on the volcano floor. We went to the Kapalaoa cabin for lunch and outhouse break the looped near the Paliku cabin before hike back around the cones. Took 10 hours total, in time to watch the sunset. Bring good hiking boots, water, sunscreen and rain gear.
