As the youngest island in Hawaii, the Big Island<\/a><\/strong> is a study in contrasts: Startling-blue water edging against onyx rocks. Miles of unspoiled land bordering enclaves filled with resorts. Abundant sunshine; ample rain; copious mist. Staggeringly gorgeous, the island is a must-see on your visit to the Aloha State.<\/p>\n

\"Maui<\/p>\n

The volcanoes that created it should also be considered a must\u2014and Hawaii Forest & Trail helps you realize this with their Volcano Unveiled<\/a><\/strong> tour. On this 12-hour journey, you\u2019ll be picked up from select resorts on the Kona and Waikoloa Coast before taking a picturesque drive on the famed Saddle Road<\/b> to Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. Once there, you\u2019ll hike two to three miles across rocky ground to get an up-close-and-personal look at Kilauea<\/b>\u2014a 4,019-foot active shield volcano that\u2019s continually changing the Big Island<\/a><\/strong>. Along the way, a knowledgeable, amiable, and certified guide will offer fascinating information on Hawaii\u2019s geology, culture, and history. The pinnacle of the trip will likely be the off-road excursion to Kauhi Cave<\/b>, a private lava tube<\/a><\/strong> and cavern that\u2019s accessible only to Hawaii Forest & Trail staff and guests. You\u2019ll be spellbound by the cylinder, which is marked by bright yellow microbial mats that accent the cave walls; meanwhile, the trip as a whole will linger with you for decades. Bonus points<\/strong>: Hawaii Forest & Trail\u2014which is certified by the Hawaii Ecotourism Association<\/b>\u2014has garnered a reputation as one of the friendliest, most well-informed tour companies on the island, thanks in part to their two-plus decades of experience\u2014and the fact that their staff holds strong academic backgrounds in the fields of biology, geology, natural history, and Hawaiian culture.<\/p>\n
