点评:This National Park is a must see, if visiting the Big Island of Hawaii! It about a 2 hour drive from Kona, and there is a US$ 30 per car entrance for a single occasion. ( This can be paid in advance at the National Parks website.
The Kilauea volcano had just finished it 26th eruption the day before we arrived on the island, so we just missed it. 😭😭 It was still smoking when we visited and this can be seen from a safe distance. There is a paved walkway around the craters edge from where you can view the volcano. Look for Pele’s hair which are thin strands of glass on the ground the size of a needle!
There are other craters of dormant volcanos throughout the National Park some of which are totally overgrown.
The Thurston lava tube tunnel (Nahuku) is well worth a visit. There are some steps at one end which may be difficult to negotiate if disabled! But more importantly there are toilets nearby with running water and not a long drop! 😁
We drove to the Halina Pali overlook which was down a long windy single track road over lava rock, at the end is a view of the sea…. And a picnic hut, not worth the time or effort!

翻译:如果你要去夏威夷大岛,这个国家公园是必游之地!从科纳开车大约2小时,单次入场费每辆车30美元。 (可在国家公园网站上提前支付。
基拉韦厄火山在我们到达岛屿的前一天刚刚完成了第26次喷发,所以我们错过了。😭😭 我们去的时候还在冒烟,在安全距离外就能看到。火山口边缘有一条铺好的步道,从那里可以看到火山。寻找佩蕾的头发,它们是地上细细的玻璃丝,针头大小!
国家公园内还有其他休眠火山的火山口,其中一些已经完全长满了杂草。
瑟斯顿熔岩隧道(Nahuku)非常值得一游。隧道的一端有一些台阶,对于行动不便的人来说可能很难通过!但更重要的是,附近有厕所,有自来水,而且落差不大!😁
我们驱车前往哈丽娜帕利观景台,沿着一条蜿蜒曲折的单行道穿过熔岩,路的尽头是海景……还有个野餐小屋,不值得花时间和精力!
