When visiting Hawaii, exploring its national and state parks is a must-do activity for nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts. One of the most popular parks in Hawaii is the Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, home to two active volcanoes, Mauna Loa and Kilauea. Visitors can witness the awe-inspiring sight of flowing lava, explore unique lava tubes, and hike through lush rainforests. Another must-see park is Haleakalā National Park on Maui, known for its stunning volcanic landscapes, diverse ecosystems, and the opportunity to witness a breathtaking sunrise from the summit of Haleakalā.
Aside from the national parks, Hawaii is also home to numerous state parks offering a variety of outdoor activities such as hiking, camping, swimming, and picnicking. One of the most popular state parks is Akaka Falls State Park on the Big Island, where visitors can take a short hike through a lush rainforest to view the 442-foot tall Akaka Falls. For history buffs, Pu'uhonua o Hōnaunau National Historical Park on the Big Island offers a glimpse into ancient Hawaiian culture and traditions, with reconstructed temples, fish ponds, and a royal palace. With its diverse landscapes, rich history, and abundant outdoor recreational opportunities, Hawaii's national and state parks provide a truly immersive and unforgettable experience for visitors.
