Sightseeing
Check the park site for weather and plan accordingly. The park is huge and there are tons of great hikes. If you’re lucky, you’ll be staying while the crater is actively erupting. Ask us and we will be happy to share how to get the best views!

Great spot for a beach picnic and to see the largest specimens of our local Honu (sea turtles). These animals are very special, and also protected here in Hawaii, so please view from a respectful distance.
