Wear layers and bring a jacket, temperatures vary drastically in the park.

In Hawaiian the word malama means “to take care” and the word aina means “land.” When you’re in Hawaii, we ask that you practice this and pick up your trash; respect the marine life, plants, and animals; and avoid spots that are unsafe. Hawaii’s natural resources are precious, it’s up to all of us to help preserve these resources for generations by respecting the aina when you visit.

Entrance to Volcanoes National Park costs $30 per car.

Lunch at Volcano Village will be about $15/person.

This tour takes about a half day to complete, depending on how many hikes you choose to do. Even if you do all the hikes on this tour, you’ll be able to finish it in one day.
