The Kīlauea Visitor Center is the perfect place for hikers to learn about the park's geology via exhibits, films, and ranger activities. The Visitor Center also has the latest updates on volcanic activity and eruptions. The adjacent art museum showcases native Hawaiian culture.

In Hawaii Volcanoes National Park you will witness one of the most fascinating wonders that nature has in store for us. Located 30 miles southwest of Hilo, this park is home to two volcanoes, including Mount Kilauea, one of the most active volcanoes in the world. The unique spectacle of destruction and re-creation, i. H. elemental processes in the history of the earth, makes the park not only a sacred place, but also one of the most popular visitor attractions in Hawaii.
