Mar 01 '01 (Updated Mar 02 '01) Author's Product Rating Scenery: Crowds: Time needed for visit: Pros Well worth seeing! Cons Make sure you take enough time! The Bottom Line Hawaaian Volcanoes National Park is a 'must see' on the big island. Full Review Hawaii, one of the rare places where you can you see a volcano in a national park!!! We took the helicopter ride over the ring of fire and then went on down tothe local park to get another look!! Anywhere else in the world where there is a volcano, people run, but in Hawaii Volcanoes National Park they flock to see it. This park has existed since 1916, surrounding Kilauea Caldero and Mauna Loa, and is one of the worlds most active volcanic areas. This park is located on the big island of Hawaii, on the southeastern coast. We drove there from Hilo and it took about 30-45 minutes. The park is open 24 hours a day and there are trails that you can take and even camp on. The main road of the park begins near Kilauea Caldero and goes down to the coast. There is a visitor center and it contains maps and information on the trails. It also issues permits. There are some picnic areas. The park is close enough to Highway 11 to provide access to get gas. However, if you have car problems, you're out of luck since there is nothing else within 21 miles. The visitor center is open 7:45 AM through 5 PM. Elevations within the park range from sea level to about 14,000 feet and it can get pretty cool in certain places. We were glad someone we knew, who had been there, suggested taking jeans and sweatshirts!! Its also not unusual for a shower to come up unexpectedly. We stood at the edge of a trail, looking out over the fields leading to one of the craters and watched a rainline move toward us very fast!! There is also a museum, several miles from the visitor center, which provides films of past eruptions. You can also purchase videos of past eruptions. They have overlooks to view both craters. This center is open from 8:30-5 PM daily. You can explore many of the areas around the volcano by foot, at your own risk of course. There are signs which tell you that people have walked in and never been seen again so we elected not to do that!! Hikers are required to register. Since we only spent a day and a half on the "big island", and only had part of it at the park, we didnt get to see a lot of it and I have a feeling we could have spent lots of time here. However, the volcano was pretty quiet while we were there (much to our disappointment), so it gave us a feeling of not missing too, too much. However, that is not to diminish the awesome experience of being in the presence of one of God's wonders, the volcano. Knowing it could erupt anytime was exciting. And we did get to see some great views of lava flows and hot spots, fire pools, etc. The helicopter ride over the park and flying over the 'ring of fire' was truly awesome. GENERAL INFORMATION Admission: $10.00 Per Vehicle or $5.00 Per Person, good for 7 consecutive days. Address: HVNP, P.O. Box 52,Hawaii National Park, HI 96718, Ph.

Thus they are more visitor friendly, if you will.

The hotel had many pleasant seating areas in both quiet and busy areas. Great. Terrific staff at this hotel! Friendly, helpful. Just wonderful." - Ruben Pradel, Des Moines, Washington "What a beautiful Hotel! Very nice staff." - Matt Grabowski, East Pointe, Missouri "From the moment we checked in to the time we left, we were impressed by your staff's willingness to go the extra nine yards to make sure our stay was enjoyable. The grounds were immaculate, the pool area always clean and neat with enough chaises and towels available, as well as shaded areas that we could retreat to when necessary. We also appreciated the little things: rows of orchids in the lobby, room amenities, soft Hawaiian music poolside capturing the mood of the islands, the magnificent views of Waikiki. All subtle reminders that we were truly in paradise. When we return next year, we will choose Marriott because of the outstanding service and luxury that you offer at affordable prices. Thank you for your high standards of excellence." - Mr. & Mrs. William H. Swick, Manahawkin, New Jersey "I was very impressed with the cleanliness of the room. This hotel staff was awesome!
