Amazing activities on the Big Island Hawaii: Volcanoes National Park

Ranked among Hawaii's most visited attractions, Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park, a UNESCO

World Heritage Site, is an international sensation. Hosting the Kilauea and Mauna Loa active

volcanoes, the park offers stunning landscapes, sacred sites, and exciting hiking trails. For easy

accessibility, we recommend a rental car as there's no public transportation within the park and internet access is limited. Get a sneak peek at live webcams on the park's website, courtesy of the USGS Hawaiian Volcano Observatory.
