Hawaii Volcanoes National Park
Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, established in 1916, is a United States National Park located in the U.S. State of Hawaii on the island of Hawaii. It holds two active volcanoes: Kīlauea, one of the world's most active volcanoes, and Mauna Loa, the world's most massive volcano. The park gives scientists insight into the birth of the Hawaiian Islands.

Hawaii’s Polynesian Cultural Centre, located in Laie, Oahu, an hour’s scenic drive from Waikiki, is the top paid Hawaii attraction and a “must see” Hawaii activity. There are many intriguing shows available to see. Virtually seven native villages give visitors the rare chance to participate in the daily adventures of Hawaiian and other South Pacific cultures.

The Zoo is 42 acres and home to 905 different animals from the tropics. Komodo Dragons, orang-utans, elephants, primates, birds, reptiles, amphibians, and a variety of African animals can be seen daily. The Honolulu Zoo is the only zoo within a diameter of 4,784 miles. The 300 acre parcel was primarily a marshland of old fish ponds, lagoons and islands. In 1877, it was officially opened as Queen Kapiolani Park.
In 1914, the City of Honolulu assumed responsibility for the park and the first Park Director, Ben Hollinger, began collecting animals. He began with a monkey, bear and an African elephant. With a world-wide reputation for its Bird-of-paradise collection, in 1938 "Kapiolani Bird Park" grew.
In 1947, 42.5 acres within Kapiolani Park, was designated as the Honolulu Zoo. The zoo was converted to a "popular" layout showing animals in taxonomic groupings of bird, reptile and mammal exhibits.
