We begin our Big Island Adventure by traveling to South Point, the most southern point in the USA. We set out to see the fabled Green Sand Beach.

We come across a small patch of green sand.

After 2.5 miles, we finally arrive at the beach. The above photo doesn't do justice to the greenness.

Day 2: We start the day in Volcano National Park. We take an official tour and learn all about volcanos.

We also walk through a Lava Tube.

We were fortunate enough to see the lava flow. We saw plenty of spurts of red-hot liquid magma rising to the surface.

We spend the rest of the day touring the Hilo side of the island.

Day 3: We venture to Waipio Valley

We take a STEEP hike down to the water.

We make it back alive, barely.

Before flying back to Oahu, we explore more of the Kona coast.
