Big
Island Activities
 
Nowhere else in the United States, much less the world, is there a spot
like Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, and no visit to the Big Island
is really complete without paying homage to Madame Pele, Hawaii's Goddess
of the volcano. This is a place of creation, of life, of incredible
force and energy, yet it is not only accessible, it is designed to accommodate,
educate, and enthrall all who enter the park.
According to Hawaiian legend, this is the home of Pele, the Hawaiian
Goddess of fire. Pele's first home was Niihau, the oldest island in
the chain, but the goddess of the sea chased Pele from island to island
until she finally came to rest in Halem'uma'u Crater, in Kilauea Caldera,
where she still resides today.
Hawaii Volcanoes National Park was established in 1916 as the country's
thirteenth national park, and was created to preserve the region's unique
volcanic features, its early human history, and the plant and animal
life that is part of this special bio-region.
