The last volcanic eruption in Hawaiian Islands was from Kilauea volcano. It began in 2024 and is continuing (as of April 2025).
The first historically documented eruption occurred 1750 from Kilauea volcano.
Volcanoes in Hawaiian Islands erupt almost every year. Since the first historically documented eruption 1750in Hawaiian Islands, historic sources have shown nearly continuous volcanic activity: The Global Volcanism Project counts 113 historic eruptions until now, spanning a total of 182 out of 275 years. In other words, a volcano in Hawaiian Islands is active roughly every one in 1.5 years on average. This value is likely underestimated, because the record of historically documented activity is likely inclomplete the further back in time we look.
Hawaiian Islands is volcanically extremely active: Since 1900, at least 3 volcanoes in Hawaiian Islands have been active. Almost every year, at least one volcano has erupted in Hawaiian Islands. The latest eruption from Kilauea volcano volcano is still continuing at present.
The largest eruption in Hawaiian Islands in historic times was from Kilauea volcano. It occurred in 1790. It ranks as a sub-plinian eruption with a magnitude 4 on the VEI (Volcanic Explosivity Index) scale.
