## Overview

Volcanoes National Park is a World Heritage Site and it's no wonder since it is located on Kilauea the most active volcano in the world and Mauna Loa Volcano the largest volcanic mass on earth. This park is one of the most visited National parks in the country since its opening in 1916. Enjoy the informative exhibits at the Kilauea Visitor Center. Halema'uma'u crater has been active and sending its steam skyward for many years along with the Steam Vents throughout the park. Be amazed at the moon like landscape and see the diverse flora all over the park with its huge hapu'u ferns and Ohia Lehua trees. This tour also includes a drive thru Liliuokalani Gardens, a stop at Rainbow Waterfall, Mauna Loa Mac Nut Visitors Center and a stop at Richardson Black Sand Beach for picture taking.
