Hawaii Volcanoes National Park protects a remarkable volcanic landscape on Hawaii Island shaped by Kilauea and Mauna Loa, two of the world's most active volcanoes. Visitors can explore lava fields, volcanic craters, native rainforest and dramatic terrain created by generations of eruptions. The park also preserves places of deep importance to Native Hawaiian culture and provides an exceptional view into the geological processes that continue to build the Hawaiian Islands. Recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, its landscape continues to evolve as volcanic activity reshapes the island.
