Important Volcanic Safety Information:The dynamic environment of Hawaii Volcanoes National Park may present unique conditions. Airborne 'Pele's hair' (fine, glass-like fibers) or volcanic ash can sometimes be present, which may cause skin and eye irritation. For your protection, we strongly recommend:
- Long pants
- Long-sleeved top or jacket
- A hat (to protect hair and scalp)
- An extra set of clothes (in case you need to change due to exposure to volcanic ash or Pele's hair).
