Here are a few excerpts from the worst Yelp! reviews of Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. I don't know what these particular visitors were expecting, but apparently they were misinformed prior to their trip. And please, must we give the park only two stars because you forgot your sweater, and didn't realize it's BYOB?
Hilo, as usual, was rainy and chilly for me. I forgot my sweater at the hotel in Waikoloa. I was so cold I would have probably bought an overpriced, ugly tourist-y sweatshirt with a gaudy volcano printed on it if the small shop they have sold one, but they didn't. I was left to suffer in the rain and cold chilly air.
Not that impressive. Save the driving time and stay on a beach... the amount of smoke coming out of the volcano was like the amount you'll see when someone blows out a birthday candle.
the Park Service completely disrespects the sacred aspect of this area... then acting like Nazis if anyone walks off the paths... too bad the Gestapo had to ruin the park's cultural and spiritual heritage.
Ugh.
The only thing more boring than a museum is a national park. At least in a museum you're indoors, protected from the elements, and usually there's at least a cafe that serves booze.
What a shock. What a disappointment. I didn't see much. I barely saw smoke.
