The East Maui volcano, known as Haleakala, had its recent eruptions between 1480 and 1600. The eroded West Maui volcano, known as Mauna Kahawai or West Maui Mountains, last erupted 320,000 years ago.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"when-was-the-last-time-a-volcano-erupted-in-maui\"><\/span>When was the last time a volcano erupted in Maui?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Maui&#39;s Last Volcano Eruption: La Perouse Bay and the Remnants of Maui&#39;s Last Flow of Lava. The last time lava flowed out of a volcano on Maui was in about 1790. It didn&#39;t come from the crater at the top of Haleakala but rather erupted in the southwest, partway up the side of that volcano.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"how-far-is-maui-from-volcano\"><\/span>How far is Maui from volcano?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>How far is it from Maui to Hawai&#39;i Volcanoes National Park?

The most recent eruptions occurred between 400,000 and 600,000 years ago. \u201cBecause of their ages, we feel that it is unlikely that this volcano will erupt again,\u201d the volcano observatory officials said.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"what-is-special-about-maui\"><\/span>What is special about Maui?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Maui is also famous for its glorious sands and has a beach for every mood.

There are also numerous kinds of native sea-birds.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"are-there-bed-bugs-in-hawaii\"><\/span>Are there bed bugs in Hawaii?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>There are several species of bed bugs, but the only one currently in Hawaii is the Common Bed Bug.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"are-there-sand-fleas-in-hawaii\"><\/span>Are there sand fleas in Hawaii?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Since Hawaii hosts no chiggers or chigoe fleas, and amphipods don&#39;t bite, it&#39;s my guess that the occasional &#34;sand flea&#34; bites people get here come from the flea offspring of beach-going dogs.
