Plan Around Wildlife
A good stop is not just something to read about. Once it belongs on the day, move into a saved trip and build the route around it.
Use this detail page to confirm that the stop is worth it, then carry that decision into a trip draft while the park context is still fresh.
Wildlife Details
As the most remote major island group on Earth, the Hawaiian Islands have never been connected to any other land mass. The isolation of the islands meant that a number of endemic species arose, but native flora and fauna were unprepared for competition from introduced species that came along with European contact. Much of the park's wildlife and plant life has been usurped by invasive species and ungulates such as pigs and goats; native wildlife in the park today is limited to a number of endangered bird species, including the Hawaiian petrel ('ua'u) and Hawaiian goose (nene).
