12. Volcanic Vibes on Hawaii’s Big Island Loop

Circle the Big Island of Hawaii for a road trip that packs in black sand beaches, molten lava flows, waterfalls, and coffee farms. Start in Kona and make your way to Hawai‘i Volcanoes National Park to witness the raw power of an active volcano. Cruise through Hilo’s lush rainforests and swim under Rainbow Falls. Don’t miss Punaluʻu Beach, where sea turtles sunbathe on black sand. It’s a tropical adventure wrapped in geological drama—and you won’t need a passport to get there.
