What are Some Good Photo Opportunities?
Photo opportunities at Hawaii Volcanoes National Park abound. The park is home to two of the most active volcanoes in the world, Kilauea and Mauna Loa, offering stunning views of lava flows from either a safe distance or from up close with a tour guide. Visitors can also explore lush rainforests and see native Hawaiian plants, as well as snap photos of rare birds like the Nene goose or ‘I’iwi hummingbird. Other great photo ops include visiting Thurston Lava Tube, an underground tunnel formed by cooled lava flow; witnessing sunrise or sunset over Kilauea Caldera; viewing native petroglyphs carved into ancient volcanic rock; and catching the steam vents billowing off Puu Oo crater.
