Big Island Vacations: Lava & Snow
Majestic and geographically unique, Hawaii’s biggest island is certainly its most diverse. It boasts of everything from deep valleys and snow-covered peaks, to hardened lava deserts and lush rainforests. The best part…it’s still growing. Twice the combined size of the other Hawaiian Islands, the active, fire-spitting Kilauea volcano has been pouring lava into the ocean and creating new land since 1983. Watch the eruption in real time from inside Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. Marvel at all the wonders of the Big Island with a vacation package crafted by Liberty Travel.
