It's remarkable how climatically diverse The Big Island is — from snow-capped peaks to lush rainforests and staggering sea cliffs — and then there's Kilauea, the world’s most active volcano.  This is an island you have to see to believe. 
 
Hawaii has literally emerged from the ocean, and we have millions of years of volcanic activity to thank for its creation.  A visit to Hawaii Volcanoes National Park is practically a mandatory experience — and with the current ongoing eruption of Kīlauea Volcano creating a growing lava lake, now is an exhilarating time to visit!  One way to get up close (but not too close!) is on a guided hike.  You can also experience a private boat tour where you'll marvel as molten lava cascades into the ocean like a fiery waterfall.
