Spectators watch the Kilauea Caldera eruption in 1971. Lava flows into the sea at Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. A braided lava stream surrounds Pu'u Huluhulu. Kilauea and Mauna Loa, two of the world's most active volcanoes, are still adding land to the island of Hawaii. Visitors can see their elemental forces at work in this spectacular park. The Kilauea Visitor Center provides information on the park and the precautions necessary when touring near active volcanoes. Explore the park by vehicle on Crater Rim Drive or Chain of Craters Road or by foot on 120 miles of hiking trails. The park has two drive-in campgrounds. Backcountry camping is by permit only. Fishing along much of the park coastline is reserved for native Hawaiians and their guests. Bicycles are not permitted on park trails.
