Hōlei Sea Arch - Natural Arch (Volcanoes National Park, Big Island, Hawaii)
We drove all the way down Volcanoes National Park to see the Hōlei Sea Arch. I must admit, I think the journey to the Hōlei Sea Arch was better than the Hōlei Sea Arch itself lol. We saw Nene (Hawaiian state bird) and many unique old lava flows. Amazing journey!! When you get to Hōlei Sea Arch, you have to turn back because the road is closed due to lava flow. You can optionally park and walk, but you cannot drive any further. To see lava, you need to drive around and visit from Pahoa.

Address: Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, HI 96718
Established: August 1, 1916
Hawaii Volcanoes National Park is on Hawaii Island (the Big Island). At its heart are the Kīlauea and Mauna Loa active volcanoes. The Crater Rim Drive passes steam vents and the Jaggar Museum, which features volcanology exhibits and a viewpoint overlooking Halema'uma'u Crater. Thick ferns mark the entrance to the Thurston Lava Tube (Nāhuku). The Chain of Craters Road weaves over lava. Trails crisscross the park.
Kilauea Volcano:
Last eruption: May 3, 2018
Elevation: 4,091′
Prominence: 60′
Location: Hawaiʻi, United States
Volcanic arc/belt: Hawaiian–Emperor seamount chain
Kīlauea is an active shield volcano in the Hawaiian Islands that last erupted between 1983 and 2018. Historically, Kīlauea is the most active of the five volcanoes that together form the island of Hawaiʻi.
Did you know: Kīlauea erupted nearly continuously from 1983 to 2018, causing considerable property damage, including the destruction of the towns of Kalapana in 1990, and Vacationland Hawaii and Kapoho in 2018.

Holei Sea Arch, Hawaii Volcanoes National Park
Along the sea cliffs that surround the Island of Hawai'i, arches and sea stacks are formed where wild waves and tides exploit minute differences in the hardness of various layers of lava flow and air-fall material, making strange, gravity-defying natural sculptures. Although common, there are few places where these arches and stacks are easily viewable--one such place is the Holei Sea Arch, which is currently directly seaward of the end of the Chain of Craters Road.
At Holei Sea Arch the cliffs are 80 to 90 feet high, but many waves still spray and wash over them, so use caution when approaching and photographing the arch. Notice along the lower cliffs in the area toward the eruption viewing platform, the several large boulders which have been dropped by giant, angry waves crashing over the sea cliffs. Imagine the power of a wave that would have enough force to deposit a several-ton boulder on a cliff 30 feet about the surface of the ocean.

Chimani Releases Individual Free Mobile App Travel Guides For Hawaii Volcanoes, Haleakala, and National Park of American Samoa
App developer seeks to help reduce waste by replacing traditional park guides with mobile apps
Portland, Maine – Chimani, Inc., in partnership with Subaru of America, has announced the launch of 59 mobile app travel guides – one for each of the 59 iconic national parks, including each of Pacific's iconic national park destinations – in celebration of the 2016 National Park Service Centennial.
The national park apps by Chimani not only serve as a powerful park navigation tool to help visitors explore some of the country’s most beautiful areas, but also eliminate wasteful paper guides that end up in waste landfills. Subaru has partnered with Chimani to support the development of these new apps and to help educate visitors on the importance of reducing waste in national parks.
“We began developing the national park apps in 2010 to address the need for better access to park information, while also understanding the cellular connectivity issue most parks face,” said Kerry Gallivan, CEO and Co-Founder of Chimani, Inc. “Each of our national park apps includes curated, original content covering hiking trails and unique points of interest, park facilities, and more; along with GPS-enabled maps that work without a cell or Wi-Fi connection.”
“We’re extremely excited to release the free apps for American Samoa, Hawaii Volcanoes, and Haleakala national parks” said Gallivan. “Our tremendous partners at Subaru have lead the way for waste reduction in parks, and by replacing paper travel guides, Chimani will help them accomplish this goal.”
Subaru, a premier partner of the National Park Service Centennial, is deeply committed to protecting the environment and helping keep U.S. national parks beautiful. The company operates the first automotive assembly plant in America designated as zero landfill (Subaru of Indiana Automotive, Inc.), which has also been named a Backyard Wildlife Habitat by the National Wildlife Federation. Subaru is sharing its zero landfill expertise to help the national parks find ways to reduce waste and educate consumers on how they can help.
“As we enter the one hundredth year of the national parks, Subaru remains as committed as ever to help park visitors make the most of their trips to our national treasures, while also educating them on the need to keep them clean and beautiful for the next generation,” said Alan Bethke, senior vice president of marketing at Subaru of America. “Chimani is a terrific partner that offers Subaru the opportunity to do both through their new national park apps.”
Each of the 59 national park apps and the flagship National Parks app by Chimani, which includes an overview of all 412 national parks, are available for free download in the App Store, Google Play, and Amazon Appstore.

Hawaii Volcanoes National Park - Kīlauea Ili Crater (2018)
Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park, established on August 1, 1916, is an American national park located in the U.S. state of Hawaii on the island of Hawaii. The park encompasses two active volcanoes: Kīlauea, one of the world's most active volcanoes, and Mauna Loa, the world's most massive shield volcano. The park provides scientists with insight into the birth and development of the Hawaiian Islands, and ongoing studies into the processes of volcanism. For visitors, the park offers dramatic volcanic landscapes, as well as glimpses of rare flora and fauna.
In recognition of its outstanding natural values, Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park was designated as an International Biosphere Reserve in 1980 and a World Heritage Site in 1987. In 2012, Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park was depicted on the 14th quarter of the America the Beautiful Quarters series.
On May 10, 2018 the park was closed to the public in the Kīlauea volcano summit area, including the visitor center and park headquarters, due to explosions and toxic ash clouds from Halemaʻumaʻu crater, as well as earthquakes and road damage. However, portions of the park, including the visitor center, reopened to the public on September 22, 2018.
Eruptive activity, ground collapses and explosions in the park ceased in early August. As of late September, the lull in eruptive activity at Kīlauea Volcano continues. At the summit, seismicity and deformation are negligible. Sulfur dioxide emission rates at both the summit and the Lower East Rift Zone are drastically reduced; the combined rate is lower than at any time since late 2007. Earthquake and deformation data show no net accumulation, withdrawal, or significant movement of subsurface magma or pressurization as would be expected if the system was building toward a resumption of activity.

This is one of the three Hawaiian islands that I decided to visit. I spent three days there, drove 345 miles by car and visited, incl. the places described below.
I think that three days on such a large island is a bit too little. The distances between the points to travel are longer than on other Hawaiian islands.
Big Island, or Hawaiʻi Island is the largest and the southeasternmost island located in the U.S. state of Hawaii. The island of Hawaiʻi is the third largest island in Polynesia, behind the two main islands of New Zealand. Administratively, the whole island encompasses Hawaiʻi County. The county seat and largest city is Hilo where I lived.

Chain of Craters Road - Volcano Scenic Drive (Volcanoes National Park, Hawaii)
This is a REALLY COOL scenic drive which runs from Volcanoes National Park to the Hōlei Sea Arch. You can park your car by the Hōlei Sea Arch and continue to see lava flows on foot. Highly recommended!! There are some great lookout spots on the Scenic Drive and you may bump into some Nene (The Hawaiian state bird). Take a look around and see some of the old lava flows too! Would go back!

What's at the End of Chain of Craters Road? Hawaii Volcanoes National Park
Written and Produced by Donald B MacGowan
Narrated by Frank Burgess
Still and Video Photography by Donnie MacGowan and Frank Burgess
What's at the End of Chain of Craters Road?
The end of the Chain of Craters Road is currently around Mile Marker 19, just at the Holei Sea Arch and about ½ mile from the National Park eruption viewing station. Good, if distant, viewing of the eruption, displays about the volcano and natural history of the area, as well as a wealth of information on hiking to, and viewing, the lava, are available here. In addition, numerous sea arches, sea caves, fabulous bird watching, indescribable ocean views and some pretty good biking are to be found here. Even if the lava flows are too far away to be easily hiked to, the hike along the new land, twisted lava forms and endless basalt landscape is well worth the drive to the end of the road.
Remember that you are hiking on a highly active volcano, if flowing streams of lava strand you, no rescue is practical or possible; plan, take care and pay strict attention accordingly. The section on Lava Viewing has a great deal of important information regarding hiking on this active volcano; be sure to review it so that you may approach the home of the goddess with respect, knowledge and awe, and return unscathed.
Going to see the lava flow and the eruption of a living volcano may well be the adventure of your lifetime; please be careful and pay attention to these warnings to make sure this is not the FINAL adventure of your lifetime.

Following along Kilauea's East Rift Zone, Chain of Craters Road passes through an amazing array of rift volcanoes, pit craters, lava trenches and flow fields. Leaving Crater RIM Drive at the Devastation Trail parking lot, Chain of Craters Road traverses and opens-up some of the most wild and beautiful landscapes seen anywhere, terminating near the active lava flows from Kilauea Volcano.
Perhaps nowhere else on earth are the elements high mountains, wild seascapes and active volcanoes and their lava flows more dramatically displayed. Crazily switching-back repeatedly down the Holei Pali, Chain of Craters Road finally reaches the untamed and scenically wild coastline, where giant waves spray and spume over sea cliffs dozens of feet high. Towering steam plumes in the distance at the end of the road mark where unimaginably hot liquid rock pours into the wild, wild sea.
A place of mystery, a place of power, a place of wonder.
Altogether, Chain of Craters Road is a singular and essential addition to any visit to the Island of Hawai'i.
Once connecting Volcano Village through the Park to Puna and State Routes 130 and 137 at Kalapana, Chain of Craters Road has repeatedly been badly damaged by earthquake, buried in lava, re-routed and re-built and broken up and buried again. The current eruption, which began in 1983, has buried a significant portion of the currently-closed nine miles of road between its temporary end inside the Park at Holei Sea Arch (the 19 mile marker) and the eastern closure outside the town of Kalapana, beyond the eastern edge of the Park.

Even if the lava flows are too far away to be easily hiked to, the hike along the new land, twisted lava forms and endless basalt landscape is well worth the drive to the end of the road.
Over the months and years, the lava river issuing from Pu'u O'o winds its way back and forth across the lava plain of about 8 miles breadth, usually flowing into the sea within Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, but sometimes outside the eastern margin of the Park on County of Hawaii land, sometimes ponding behind the low lava hills for weeks at a time without entering the ocean at all. Check with the rangers about flow conditions; they can tell you the best way to approach these flows. Current eruption updates are available from the National Park Service by calling 808.985.600. Listen to their advice, heed their warnings, especially if you plan to hike all the way to the lava flows.

A 5.5-magnitude quake, one of 500 during the weekend, cracks a deck at Jaggar Museum in Hawaii Volcanoes National Park
A 5.5-magnitude earthquake Sunday evening shook the area surrounding Kilauea Volcano and damaged the deck of the Jaggar Museum in Hawaii Volcanoes National Park on Hawaii Island, further delaying the reopening of the closed section of the park. The ongoing volcanic and seismic activity, including a record-setting 500-plus quakes in a 24-hour period during the weekend, have made park officials wary of discussing the reopening. Advertisement Breaks in pipes have also left the park without running water. Repairs are underway. The Jaggar is one of the national park’s key attractions. Its overlook typically provides visitors with spectacular views of lava-laden Halemaumau Crater, especially after dark Meanwhile, entire neighborhoods on the outskirts of the park have been consumed by molten lava through fissures that have appeared in recent weeks. More than 100 homes have been destroyed, the Associated Press reported. That lava has hardened on key roads in the park, some of which also have experienced large cracks in the pavement. Surveys from the air have also shown large new cracks in the earth at Holei Sea Arch, one point where the park land reaches the Pacific Ocean. Poor air quality also continues to be a threat as toxic fumes rise from the cauldron. On May 3, lava began pouring from vents about 25 miles from the summit of Kilauea, the Associated Press reported. The most-visited part of the park has been closed since May 11. Various officials, including Gov. David Ige, have issued numerous advisories stating that Hawaii — the island and the state — is open for business and welcoming tourists. Only a small part of Hawaii Island is affected by recent eruptions, according to a statement last week from George Szigeti, president and chief executive of the Hawaii Tourism Authority. A map helps provide context and provides links to helpful websites for those interested in learning more about current conditions.
