Located on the southern coastline of the Big Island, Hawaii Volcanoes Nation Park is a must-do for the avid hiker and nature enthusiast. Speak with park rangers and start off on a trail that best suits your interests. If you are lucky, you may even get to see lava spewing from the volcano during a natural eruption. Other highlights include trails that weave through recent lava flows and show the destruction that molten lava can create.
Located on the southern coastline of the Island of Hawaii, you may want to combine this hike with your visit to Volcanoes National Park.The four-mile roundtrip hike along the coastline can take an average of three hours to complete, but it comes with a rewarding treat. After two miles, you will arrive at Papakolea Beach (also called Mahana Bay). The blue ocean waters flanked by warped black cliff edges and eerily green sand all combine to create a stunning setting. The green sand is an unusual reaction that occurs when the mineral olivine is present. Be sure to pack your camera!
