Island Attractions Volcanic & Cultural Treasures As the youngest of the Hawaiian Islands, the Big Island of Hawai'i is an amazingly active place — literally. Home to the world's longest continually erupting volcano (Kilauea caldera) and such scenic tours as the Chain of Craters Drive and Thurston Lava Tube, the desolate beauty of Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park is a must-see for anyone visiting the island. But the volcano area
isn't the Big Island's only natural wonder. In fact, since the island is
larger than all of the other islands combined, the toughest problem is
narrowing the options. For truly stunning vistas, take a drive on
Highway 11, which skirts the undulating lava fields of the Ka'u Desert
between Volcanoes National Park and the tiny southern town of Na'alehu. |
