This continues the tour on our third cruise day as we visited Hawaii Volcanoes National Park on The Big Island of Hawaii. We did several stops on the Crater Rim Drive. I ended up choosing 10 photos so I will split them into two weeks.
Kīlauea caldera in the distance - note the pathway mid picture.
Zoomed in you can see the people (near top of the picture) who are walking across
the Kilauea Iki trail to the crater rim!
My feet got a little wet in the tunnel. :-)
This is part of the path through the tropical rain forest returning from the tunnel.
I loved walking through this and took many shots of the wild undergrowth!
To be continued next week with pictures of the actual volcanoes.

I didn't know there was a walk through the lava tunnel!! We're definitely doing that next time we go :-)
ReplyDeleteI didn't know there was a walk through the lava tunnel. I've never been to Hawaii, but hope to go one day. I have a friend going in a few months, I'll tell her about this.
ReplyDeleteI'm with Brona! I'm absolutely gobsmacked by the lava tunnel - thanks for the link.

Volcanoes National Park is on my list of things to visit. I didn't know there was such a thing as a lava tunnel to walk through. I love the tropical rainforest path in you last photo.
