AliMc929Awesome Experience  Sucess!

I've been there twice (once in '02 and once in '03.) We did tons of hiking all around the park. It was pretty awesome.

Did lots of hiking in the park but many trails closed due to SO2 levels.

Had a great time here at Volcanoes National Park. Kilauea is awesome! Part of the park is still closed due to the eruption of the Halema'uma'a crater within Kilaeua Caldera. Also, the lava that flows into the ocean has moved towards the city of Kalapana and it's no longer on national park property. That was a bummer since the county wouldn't let us any closer than half a mile. It was an awesome time. I stayed in a cottage at the Kilauea Military Camp. Not too shabby and located right in the park.

Wow. I spent many days here, doing A LOT of things. Some parts of the park were closed, due to an active vent in the Halema'uma'a crater, but still I saw and did so much stuff here. I stayed in Volcano Village, so it was very convenient. You'll never forget your time here.

taxinvestorBest Destination in Hawaii  Sucess!

Spent all night out there. On the way back got caught in a sideways rain shower. As the sun was rising a perfect end to end rainbow appeared. The Big Island rocks! Also now hooked on Royal Kona Honey Macadamia Nut coffee.

in human terms. Spent most of my honeymoon (1982) in Volcanoes National Park. Hiked across the Halemaumau Trail and climbed down seas cliffs where aa lava sliced up my flip-flops.

Went through the Thurston lava tube before inspecting the Holeil sea arch. Ventured out onto the lava field that crosses the road and found flowing lava after 2 miles. The flow enters the ocean a mile farther, but had to turn back.
Don't trip and scrape a knee or fall down. Hardened lava cuts like glass. An amazing, unforgettable hike.

I loved this place. The crater was amazing. Too bad it is no longer the massive lava lake that Mark Twain saw when he visited. I did the Thurston Lava Tube, Hiked the Crater, and went down the Chain of Craters road to see the lava flows. An unforgetable experience!

Date Climbed: Nov 25, 2006

Hiked part of the Kilauea Iki trail and visited Thurston Lava Tube. Did the usual tourist stuff (driving along Crater Rim Drive and stopping at all the highlights). Hiked to the Halema`uma`u overlook. Checked out Jaggar Museum. Later, drove down to the coast on Chain of Craters Road to see lava (didn't see anything; only saw the steam plume at the shore). Visited Pu`u Loa petroglyphs on the way there.

Visited the park with my mother. Did small hikes in the caldera, Thurston Lava tube, among watching the small famous black sand beach get devoured.

Stopped here on our honeymoon. Stayed at the Volcano House - highly recommended. Drove the Crater Rim and Chain of Craters Road and hiked the Kilauea Iki trail which was simply great.

This is an amazing place. You can't spend enough time here seeing everything.

ScottRoute Climbed: Entire crater rim, plus across the crater Date Climbed: February 1995  Sucess!

NIce trip in 1995 with my wife. Interesting trails. One day we hiked the 11.6 mile long Crater Rim Trail and another day we hiked across the crater.



We also saw the lava spilling into the ocean as well, but this is way south of the summit, and from a seperate crater (but still part of Kilauea).
