How to see Hawaii’s Mauna Loa and Kilauea volcanoes erupting: Travel Weekly

It’s been almost 40 years since the last time the Kilauea and Mauna Loa volcanoes were erupting at the same time. As such a rare event, it’s already brought many visitors to the island specifically to see the spectacle, while others are still wondering whether they should get on a plane and go.
The answer to that question came earlier this month from Hawaii County mayor Mitch Roth. “It’s actually a great time to come,” he said in a press conference. “People are here and seeing some of the most unbelievable sights ever, and you don’t have to go up Saddle Road. You can see [the Mauna Loa lava flow] from Hilo. You can see it from Kona. You can see it from Kau.”
In order to see both the Kilauea and Mauna Loa eruptions at the same time, you’ll have to go to Hawaii Volcanoes National Park (HVNP), atop Kilauea. The park is closest to Hilo, and it would be recommended to arrive at that airport if the park is part of the agenda.
Jessica Ferracane, public affairs specialist for HVNP, said both eruptions can be seen from Kupinai Pali (aka Waldron Ledge) or from the Volcano House, and both are easy to get to.
She also recommended visiting during off-peak hours, before 9 a.m. or after 9 p.m. Nighttime affords the best glow from both volcanoes, sometimes even when there are clouds. It’s just important to realize that the eruptions can change, or stop, at any time and that the weather can change throughout the day, which may obscure some views.
