Hawaii – Big Island – Volcano’s and black sand beaches

The Volcano NP was one of the big attractions for us. When we were there, there were no active lava and part of the park was still closed from the eruption a few months prior, but it was still exciting to think that we were walking inside a crater. There were lots of steam, and plenty of sun. The black sand beach was just what we needed. It was the biggest swell I have ever seen, and the kids loved it.
