  • Review this attraction

  • Each of the islands in the Hawaiian archipelago is actually the top of an underwater volcano. The oldest of the seven major islands (formed some 70 million years ago) is Kaua’i; the youngest Hawai’i, where the active Kīlauea volcano adds more landmass daily. A new island, Lō’ihi, is forming far below the ocean’s surface, southeast of Hawai’i.
