Protected areas

Several areas in Hawai ʻ i are under the National Park Service 's protection. Hawaii has two national parks: Haleakalā National Park, near Kula on Maui, which features the dormant volcano Haleakalā that formed east Maui; and Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, in the southeast region of Hawai ʻ i Island, which includes the active volcano Kīlauea and its rift zones.

There are three national historical parks: Kalaupapa National Historical Park in Kalaupapa, Moloka ʻ i, the site of a former leper colony; Kaloko-Honokōhau National Historical Park in Kailua-Kona on Hawai ʻ i Island; and Pu ʻ uhonua o Hōnaunau National Historical Park, an ancient place of refuge on Hawai ʻ i Island's west coast. Other areas under the National Park Service's control include Ala Kahakai National Historic Trail on Hawai ʻ i Island and the USS Arizona Memorial at Pearl Harbor on O ʻ ahu.

President George W. Bush proclaimed the Papahānaumokuākea Marine National Monument on June 15, 2006. The monument covers roughly 140,000 square miles (360,000 km) of reefs, atolls, and shallow and deep sea out to 50 miles (80 km) offshore in the Pacific Ocean—an area larger than all the national parks in the U.S. combined.
