Witness the Power of Nature: Kīlauea Summit Erupts on Hawai‘i Island

December 30, 2024

Attention adventurers and nature enthusiasts! Hawai‘i Island is making headlines once again as the majestic Kīlauea volcano roars to life. The latest eruption at the summit has transformed the caldera into a glowing spectacle, attracting visitors from around the globe eager to witness this natural wonder.

Although Kīlauea is on Hawai‘i Island and not Maui, many of our Kihei Rent A Car customers often venture between islands, taking full advantage of Hawai‘i’s unique geography. If you’re planning a trip to Hawai‘i Island, now is the perfect time to see this phenomenon up close (safely, of course).

What’s Happening at Kīlauea

Kīlauea is one of the most active volcanoes in the world, and its eruptions are both awe-inspiring and humbling. Lava fountains, glowing rivers, and steaming vents create a surreal landscape unlike anything you’ve ever seen. The National Park Service has set up safe viewing areas within Hawai‘i Volcanoes National Park, so you can enjoy the show while staying protected.

How to Get There

If you’re traveling from Maui, you can hop on a quick inter-island flight to Hilo or Kona. From there, a rental car is essential to explore the island, just as it is here on Maui.

Why It’s Worth the Trip

Seeing Kīlauea in action is more than just sightseeing—it’s a once-in-a-lifetime experience. The fiery display is a vivid reminder of the raw power of nature and the ever-changing beauty of Hawai‘i’s landscape.

 

So whether you’re renting from us for your Maui adventures or heading to the Big Island, don’t miss this unforgettable opportunity. And remember, your Kihei Rent A Car ohana is here to make your journey smooth and stress-free. Safe travels! 🌋
