Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park protects two of the world's most active volcanoes, Kīlauea and Mauna Loa, on the island of Hawaii's Big Island. Established in 1916, it preserves diverse ecosystems and Native Hawaiian culture. Visitors can explore volcanic features like calderas and lava tubes, unique plant and animal life, and sacred cultural sites.

Mauna Kea is a dormant volcano that is famous for being the tallest mountain on Earth when measured from its oceanic base to its summit. It is also culturally significant to Native Hawaiians and is a globally recognized site for astronomical observation.

Please wear warm clothing and be prepared for extreme altitude changes, cold and dry weather. Please note that a 4WD vehicle is required to summit the Mauna Kea Volcano.

A Manta Ray snorkel tour in Hawaii involves a boat ride to a dark ocean location at night, where participants hold onto a floating board with lights to attract plankton, luring manta rays to the surface to feed and swim gracefully, allowing snorkelers to observe these gentle giants up close. The experience uses lights to create a feeding zone, bringing mantas to the surface for a mesmerizing, up-close encounter with their feeding behaviors.

It is approximately a 20-30 minute hike that is considered moderately challenging due to steep, rocky often slippery terrain. Swimming at the beach is highly discouraged due to strong currents.
