Because of the nature of its eruptions, Hawaii Volcanoes National Park (HVNP) remains one of the best places in the world to safely observe volcanic activity. After talking with park rangers, it is often possible to find safe spots to watch molten rock flowing from the earth into the ocean, creating new land and making the Big Island even larger. In addition, the park hosts a verdant rainforest ecosystem unique to the Big Island. Explore Hawaii Volcanoes National Park (HVNP) now using the menus and photos in the right pane of this page.
