I did the Kilauea summit sunset and star watching tour from Kailua. A circle tour of the island with them would not be a bad idea. Finding some of the turnoffs to important sights is a bit difficult--not the best signage.
If you are asking about seeing and standing close to the Lava flow, which is east of the "head" of the volcano is now (as of March 30) a very long 3-1/2 hour hike each way. It will be strenuous and for experienced hikers (with the right boots, etc) The lava flow has shifted and the hikes are longer than before. If you want to see the volcano head (at the Jaggar Museum), it is a very short walk from the parking lot...
