Hikers should wear hiking boots, take water and snacks, sunglasses, sunscreen and a hat because the sun can be very intense. Due to the unstable terrain conditions, it is highly recommended, before choosing Puu Huluhulu Trail, to consult the Volcano National Park website for any park alerts that might prevent you from following this route.
