Entrance fees at Hawai‘i Volcanoes National Park will go up Thursday, June 1, the final fee increase under a three-phase plan.

The seven-day vehicle fee will rise from $20 to $25, while bicyclists and pedestrians will pay $12, up from $10, and motorcyclists will be charged $20, up from $15. The popular annual Tri-Park Pass – good for one year of entry to Hawai‘i Volcanoes National Park, Pu‘uhonua o Hōnaunau National Historical Park, and Haleakalā National Park – will increase from $25 to $30.

Previous phases of the fee plan included an incremental entrance fee increase in June 2016 and added a charge for camping in October 2016. There is a $10 per night charge for the frontcountry campground at Kulanaokuaiki and a $10 per permit charge for backcountry campgrounds like Nāpau, ‘Āpua Point, and Halapē. Availability is on a first-come basis.

In addition, entrance fees will increase for commercial tour companies on June 1. Road-based tour vans carrying one to six passengers pay a $25 base fee and, starting June 1, will pay a $12 per-person rate to enter the park. Non-road-based tour companies, like hiking tour companies that are on trails more than touring the park by vehicle, don’t pay a base rate, but their per-person entrance fees will increase as well.

Projects funded by entrance fees at Hawai‘i Volcanoes include trail maintenance, road and parking lot striping, cabin repairs, hike guides, restrooms, picnic tables, protecting native species, and more. The transformation of the 1932 Administration Building (‘Ōhi‘a Wing) into a cultural museum that visitors will soon enjoy was also funded by fees.
