Why to visit Volcanoes National Park

The national park, which is one of the top places to visit in Hawaii, protects some of the world's most distinctive geological, cultural, and biological settings. Volcanoes National Park has over 200 recorded bird species and offers a variety of appealing foliage, flora, and animals. At Volcanoes National Park, you can see awe-inspiring grandeur while also witnessing the process of destruction and creation.

Kilauea and Mauna Loa are two Hawaii volcanoes that make up Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. Hawaii Volcanoes can be seen on a coach tour, a Kilauea volcanic bike tour, or a helicopter ride, and are frequently included on island tours of Hawaii that also include stops at sights like Rainbow Falls and the Hamakua Coast.

The peak of the Kilauea volcano promises a spectacular new eruption, which is attracting hundreds of visitors from around the world to Volcanoes National Park. The lovely place offers spectacular visual splendour and the perfect sunset gazing, straight out of your imagination. With a height of 13,677 feet, it is one of the tallest structures.

Visit the park's Jaggar Museum to learn about earthquakes, geology, and seismology; see how lava still flows to the sea and periodically covers roads; and hear the history of Madame Pele, Hawaii's volcanic goddess.

Special Tip

I recommend getting there early and exploring Nhuku (Thurston Lava Tube) before 10 a.m. Not only is there plenty of parking, but the lava tube is nearly empty. Birdwatching at Nhuku is also excellent early in the morning.
