👍👍 Download a pdf of the 💥💥KĪLAUEA IKI TRAIL GUIDE 💥💥 on your phone before your hike. (search google for a copy). There are also $2 physical copies in the visitor center. It turned a 2/10 boring “this is just big hole” 🤨🕳️ experience to an extraordinarily enriching and mind blowing hike. The guid...

👍👍 Short trail in the rainforest. Can pay to enter the botanical gardens. We did the free part and walked through amazing nature down to a small beach where we found and ate a coconut. Had to work hard to break it but it was tasty. Very nice view points along the way

This visitor center features exhibits covering the park's environment, history & culture.

Tropical forest area featuring a long, subterranean cave formed by ancient flowing lava.

👍👍 I feel this is important, especially for people with a concern for their personal walking ability to the lava viewing area Keanakako'i Overlook. The hike is not difficult, however it's about a mile out to the viewing area Keanakao'i Overlook. Parking is at the Devastation Trail parking lot. from the...

Paved half-mile out-and-back trail through the cinder outfall of a 1959 volcanic eruption.

Archeological site with 23,000 petroglyph images in hardened lava, reached via a short, rugged hike.

👍 So this is the perfect spot to walk along the coast on lava rock or stay on a trail. Nice area with a cool breeze and others walking and enjoying the ocean air and waves crashing on the cliffs.

👍👍 Lots of stuff packed in here from Gortex Jackets, to boots, bags, camping gear, etc. They also have restaurant cooking supplies to feed an army 😄

👍👍 A lot less crowded than the other crater overlooks with a clear view of Kilauea iki crater.

👍👍 I didn't have time today to make the 7 mile hike but I was able to stop and enjoy the view and read the signs at the trailhead. There is a decent place to park on either side of the road.

👍👍 This is an excellent, easy place to view native birds! Be quiet, patient, and observant — the native forest birds will make their appearance around lehua blossoms. Listen for their songs as they make their rounds among the trees. You have to keep up with them, as they move quick! Interestingly, the...

Challenging 7.6-mile route across a hardened lava field leading to a scenic rocky bay & campsite.

👍👍 One of the coolest places I have ever been! There are 3 possible ways to get to the waterfall, swim in the deep water to the island, there is a cross in the water that is not so deep or from the hiking trail (not recommended to everyone) where you can cross dry, but the trail is quite steep.
