Up to four astronomy tour permits and up to six guided hiking tour permits will be issued. All applications must be received by the park no later than 4:00 pm HST on December 21, 2020. All CUAs issued will be valid for up to two years.

The solicitation for astronomy and hiking CUA applications, which closed on November 15, 2020, has been cancelled. Applicants to the November 15 solicitation may resubmit their applications by the new deadline, for no additional application fee. All interested parties are advised use the updated application document.A CUA allows an individual, group, company, or other for-profit entity to conduct commercial activities and provide specific visitor services within a national park. A multi-step process will be used to select the applicants to whom the CUAs will be issued. If there are more qualified applicants than available CUAs, a competitive process will be used to evaluate and award CUAs. It is illegal to conduct business in a park area without a permit, contract, or other written agreement.
