The Big Island is one of dramatic contrasts with lush rain forests and cascading waterfalls in the east, the coffee plantations, crystal waters and golden sands of the sun-blessed west and the macadamea nut orchards and is home to the only active volcano in the islands. Not to be missed, a tour of Volcanoes National Park, where an 11 mile drive encircles the still active Kilaueau Crater and for the experience of a lifetime, fly by helicopter over red hot lava flows and finally, a must visit is Dolphin Quest for a swim with the Dolphins.
