Address: Hawaii National Park, Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, Island of Hawaii, HI<\/p>\n

Website:\u00a0https:\/\/www.nps.gov\/havo\/index.htm<\/a><\/p>\n

Price: $30 per car<\/p>\n

This National Park is home to Kilauea, Hawaii’s most active volcano located on the Big island. See the above link for the updated activity and lava viewing options.\u00a0 The viewing has been very consistent the last year or so.\u00a0 You can see small areas at the caldera bottom where lava is slowly filling up the caldera.<\/p>\n

Sulfur trail is open and the steam vents are still seeping out steam.<\/p>\n

To see a great overview of the lava activity from March, 2018 to the halt of activities in September 2018 the USGS has a great video that they play at the visitor’s center – click here:<\/p>\n

https:\/\/www.nps.gov\/havo\/learn\/photosmultimedia\/videos.htm<\/a><\/p>\n

Mauna Loa last erupted in 1984 and Kilauea has been continuously erupting since 1983. Upon entering the park, visit the\u00a0K\u012blauea Visitor Center for more information about current volcano activity to plan your day accordingly.<\/p>\n

The park also contains the Jaggar Museum which is still closed and will likely always be closed.\u00a0 The draining out of the lava pool in 2018 caused so much of the caldera to cave in it undermined the area where Jaggar stands.\u00a0 The parking lot is open and there is nice caldera viewing with almost no walking.\u00a0 Soon the caldera floor will be high enough to see the lava from this vantage point.<\/p>\n

After visiting the Visitor Center the only thing there is to do is hike about.\u00a0 A list of trails is on the Park website here:\u00a0\u00a0https:\/\/www.nps.gov\/havo\/planyourvisit\/hikes_day.htm<\/a>.\u00a0 If you like to hike, spend a couple hours doing so.\u00a0 The Sulphur Banks trail would be my first pick.\u00a0 After that, if you are in Hilo for only a few days, there is more to see than lava rock.<\/p>\n

Chain of Craters Road.\u00a0 The road around the north side of the volcano continued ALL the way down to the ocean.\u00a0 The problem is that decades ago, lava flows cut off the road.\u00a0 If you go down this direction, you need to go all the way back up.\u00a0 If you have lots of time and gas it is an interesting drive.\u00a0 See this park link for additional information:\u00a0https:\/\/www.nps.gov\/havo\/planyourvisit\/ccr_tour.htm<\/a><\/p>\n

Remember that conditions of the park are constantly changing, so it is wise to ask a park ranger about current air conditions and for more information about the park’s safety. If you are planning on hiking please wear suitable shoes and pants (lava rocks are sharp, and falling on them is like falling on broken glass!), and remember to drink lots of water.<\/p>\n

Hawai\u02bbi Volcanoes National Park is open 24 hours a day year-round, including ALL holidays.<\/p>\n

K\u012blauea Visitor Center is open daily from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
\nJaggar Museum is not open<\/p>\n

$30.00 per private non-commercial vehicle (capacity 15 or less)<\/p>\n
