  • This place is great. It's close to Alii Drive and therefore, not too long of a drive. It usually has awsome body surfing waves it also has a sand volleyball court. But do watch out for some big waves. If there ... more on Yahoo! Travel

Sunshine and temperature ... more on Yahoo! Travel
  • Sept. 06 - This is a great experience. We left the visitor lot on Chain of Craters Road at 430p and 2 hours later were within a 100 feet of a gorgeous lava field. The view is much better at night, but you need to be prepared to hike back in utter darkness. A flashlight (one per person), sturdy... more on Yahoo! Travel

  • We visited the park just after Thanksgiving, so the number of visitors were minimal. The park rangers and staff were very helpful. I noticed that most people neglected the opportunity to ask the rangers about the site, and therein lies the hidden gem of this 'attraction'. You can pick up a brochu... more on TripAdvisor

  • Before I moved to Hawaii I took a day trip to Hilo to see what I could find. The drive to the falls is out of the way and you can feel like you are going to the middle of nowhere.
