No place on earth has such contrasting geography and topography as can be found on the Big Island, Hawaii. Tour the snow-capped mountains of its highest peak at Mauna Kea (13,796 feet), and in the next moment take in the fire and fury of Kilauea, the most active volcano on Earth. From the searing lava flows and the black sand beaches that resulted from them, you can move on to the Hamakua Coast, rife with thick vegetation, and on to the cascading waterfalls that inhabit this same diverse area.
