Volcanoes National Park

Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park, established in 1916, displays the results of 70 million years of volcanism, migration, and evolution -- processes that thrust a bare land from the sea and clothed it with complex and unique ecosystems and a distinct human culture. The park encompasses diverse environments that range from sea level to the summit of the earth's most massive volcano, Mauna Loa at 13,677 feet. Kilauea, the world's most active volcano, offers scientists and visitors alike insights on the birth of the Hawaiian Islands and views of dramatic volcanic landscapes.

The Most Diverse Island

From the snows of Mauna Kea to the snow-white beaches of the Kona Coast, the Big Island is one of the few places on earth where you can go from snow boardingto snorkeling in a single day. Between these two altitude extremes, you will find virtually every type of outdoor activity imaginable.

Nearby Activities include: Swimming in warm spring ponds, Sea Turtles at Black Sand Beach, Golf, Hiking, Art Galleries, and more.
