KILAUEA Live

Experience Kīlauea, one of the world’s most active volcanoes, in real time. Watch the official USGS livestream below for current activity at the summit of Kīlauea inside Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park.

Open Gate Hostel is located a safe distance from the active summit area, making us a convenient home base for travelers hoping to experience a Kīlauea eruption during their Big Island stay. When the volcano is active and viewing areas are open, guests can head to Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park to witness this extraordinary natural event in person. Check current conditions and viewing information before you go.
