We were disappointed that after we booked Volcanoes National Park closed because it's really awesome to go at night and see the dome glow. We ended up going staying anyway to visit some other local sites (Punalu'u Beach) and experience the frequent earthquakes (so very cool). It was an unforgettable experience. Where else can you go and spend the night on an active, erupting volcano??? There were NO gasses, NO ash, NO air quality issues. Thanks David for encouraging us to come. The local economy relies on tourism and we were happy to support both Pahoa and Volcano Village with our visits.
