The island of Hawai‘i offers stunning landscapes, from its black sand beaches and towering waterfalls to sacred sites and, of course, Hawai‘i Volcanoes National Park. Home of the fire goddess Pele, Kīlauea Volcano is one of the most popular attractions across the state. At present, Kīlauea has two ongoing eruptions. Pu‘u‘ō‘ō has been erupting since January 1983, and Halema‘uma‘u Crater since March 2008.

There’s plenty of room for visitors to take in this incredible diversity of terrain in
uninterrupted enjoyment. Though the
