If you're planning to view the eruption, our website is your ultimate resource. Before you head out, take note of these essential ranger tips:

🔦 Prepare in Advance: Don't forget your flashlight, warm attire, rain gear, and sturdy shoes. Keep an eye on the weather as rain and fog can obstruct the eruption view.

🎴 Peak Time Savvy: Everyone's excited to see Kīlauea illuminate the night. Arrive after 10 p.m. or an hour or two before sunrise to avoid the rush and capture the glow. And just in case your chosen overlook is packed, have a backup location in mind.

🌋 Prioritize Safety: Stay out of closed areas! Rope lines and hazard signs are in place to safeguard you from dangerous volcanic fumes, unexpected rim collapses, and hidden cracks. Volcanic gas can be particularly risky for those with respiratory issues, young children, and pregnant women. Check air quality before and during your visit.
