Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park no longer will accept cash starting May 26 

Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park will no longer accept cash for entrance fees or passes starting on May 26, just before Memorial Day weekend and the unofficial kickoff to summer.

Only credit or debit cards and digital site passes will be accepted.

Entrance fees are an important source of revenue used to improve the visitor experience in national parks, including road and facility repairs and maintenance, trail improvements, visitor and resource protection services and more.

Moving to a cashless system will allow parks to be better stewards of visitor dollars by reducing the amount of time park staff spend managing cash, improving accountability and reducing risk.
