We invite you to experience Hawai'i's special environment, learn more about its unique history, and participate in the outdoor recreational opportunities by visiting our parks. But these uniquely Hawaiian resources are fragile and irreplaceable. So as you visit, please help us protect these resources for future generations. Safety can never be guaranteed in our ocean and wildlands. Storms, strong currents, high surf and turbulent waters periodically and sometimes unexpectedly affect our parks, particularly during winter months.
Vandalism can also make an area unsafe.
As a safety precaution, familiarize yourself and your party with the safety tips on this web page. Our resources are some of the most endangered in the world. This means we must all do our part to help sustain Hawai'i's valuable resources. Please be a good visitor - pick up your litter, pack out what you pack in, and do not damage the plants, animals, historic sites, and reefs. These resources are important elements of Hawai'i's past and our future.
