<div class="aboutUsText"><p>The Big Island of Hawaii is the largest of all the Hawaiian Islands and encompasses a diversity of climates from tropical rainforest with roaring waterfalls to posh resorts and white sand beaches. Hawaii Volcanoes National Park is home to tropical rainforest hikes, stark and steaming volcanic landscapes, and molten lava flowing into the sea. Kilauea Volcano is the most continuously active volcano on Earth and a visit to the summit provides an unforgettable experience.</p></div>

Farther along the Hamakua Coast you can gaze into the steep-walled Waipio Valley, visit botanical gardens and take in stunning seacoast views.<br>Head up to the summit of Kilauea Volcano to see steaming cauldrons and calderas and drive down to the coast to see the hot lava pouring into the ocean.

These waters are also popular for a variety of ocean excursions from snorkeling and scuba diving to humpback whale watching and sunset sails.</p></div>
