The Hawaiian islands were formed and shaped by volcanic eruptions, and nowhere is that more evident than on the Big Island. On this breathtaking tour you will have the unique opportunity to see all of the diverse geological environments and microclimates the Big Island has to offer. No where else can you see molten lava spewing from the crater of an active volcano, and minutes later enter a lush valley filled with cascading waterfalls. This tour is not one to be missed, and is the perfect way to round out your Big Island trip.
