I Took a Family Vacation to Hawaii That Combined Relaxation and Adventure

"A must-see destination for volcano enthusiasts, encompassing two of the island’s most active volcanoes and offering accessible geology experiences—from lava tubes and petroglyphs to dramatic crater rims and interpretive overlooks. The park can be explored on foot with basic supplies, and it rewards visitors with vivid lessons in volcanic processes and the island’s deep geological history." - Flora Stubbs Flora Stubbs Flora Stubbs is the executive editor of Travel + Leisure.
