The visitor Centre has a wealth of information on the Volcano area, including trails that are open and closed. There is a theatre that plays a regular intervals and rangers who are available to answer any questions you have. We did a free walking tour as well with a ranger called Diana. She was clearly passionate about the park and the history of the flora and fauna of the area. It really added to our experience and we were grateful for her insights.

Located in Kihei on the south shore of Maui, the visitor center is an ideal spot to learn about the marine environment and even see humpback whales breaching. This scenic beachfront location at the foot of Haleakala has views of Kaho'olawe, Lana'i and West Maui looking across the waters of the sanctuary. Visitors to the new center inKihei will be able to learn about the efforts by NOAA, the State of Hawaii, and others to protect humpback whales, monk seals, sea turtles, and coral reefs.

Quick Geocache stop. But this place is so much more. Great information about humpback whales, sea turtles and seals. Excellent viewing platform to observe the ocean and creatures in their own environment. Stunning views and location. Staffed by incredibly knowledgeable volunteers.

We met Jim who was volunteering at the welcome center. He gave us some good information about what to see and do in the Kohala area. The best tip was to head to Mahukona beach for great snorkeling and to see the whales when they arrive in the afternoon around 1:30pm. The whales arrived after 2pm and were pretty far out but they put on a good show. Jim and his wife were there and were great sources of information about the big island. I wish we had learned this earlier in our trip. We would have visited there more. Note: there isn't a beach. It is a rocky coast but there is an old port that has steps to get in and out while snorkeling. You can park right by the water and picnic there while you watch the fish because the water is so clear.
