Day Trip to the Big Island

We decided to take a day trip to the Big Island to see the volcanes. We left Maui early in the morning and flew to Hilo on a small prop commuter flight. It was a pretty full day. The tour was with Polynesian Adventures. We visited Volcanos National Park, Rainbow Falls in Hilo, an orchid farm and a macademia nut factory. It made for a long day, but it was worth it. The pictures of the lava fields and craters don't do them justice, but here's some to try to give you a sense of them anyway.
