Hawaii Volcanoes National Park

Hawaii Volcanoes National Park offers 70 million years of history with regards to migration, evolution, and volcanism. The park is a natural wonder where one can see how the land formed from the sea and began to support an ecosystem and later human culture. There are many highlights in the park, but most visitors tour the park for the two active volcanoes. These volcanoes are currently the most active in the world.

The park is open 24 hours every day of the year. The visitor center at Kilauea is open daily from 7:45am to 5pm. Jaggar Museum is open 8:30am to 8:30pm daily. The bookstore is open the same hours. There is also the Kahuku Unit which is between mile marker 70 and 71 south of Hilo. This particular park section is open on weekends only from 9am to 3pm. The gate is locked at exactly 3pm. Kahuku is also closed the first Saturday of every month.

There are free days for entering the park each year. At all other times entrance fees are $10 per vehicle per 7 days, $5 per individual per seven days and there is a $25 Hawaii Tri Park Annual Pass.
