    No. Haleakalā hasn't erupted since the 17th century (they prior said 1790, but it's believed to be even earlier).

    Halema‘uma‘u Crater on the Big Island (at Mt. KÄ«lauea) has had recent activity, however, including in June of this year. There's probably some confusion with the name of what's active.

    "Until recently, East Maui Volcano was thought to have last erupted around 1790 ... Recent advanced dating tests, however, have shown that the last eruption was more likely to have been in the 17th century."

    It's still considered an active volcano if I'm not mistaken.

    NO WAY !!! Kilauea is the only active volcano in Hawaii and it's not on Maui, it's on the Big Island of Hawaii. Your friend is really messed up.
