## Direct answers
- Can I hike on active lava? Only where the park explicitly allows access. Approaching ocean entries or unstable flow fields on your own is deadly and often illegal.
- Is the park open during eruptions? Often yes with closures of specific areas. Check the official day-of map.
- Do I need a guide? Not for short open trails. Guided trips help for night viewing or longer routes when offered.
- Same as Maui volcano hiking? No. Maui's Haleakalā is a different park and island. This page is Hawaiʻi Island's Hawaii Volcanoes National Park.
