You can plan a perfect day trip to Hilo and Volcanoes Park from our house. Below is my recommended itinerary: - Leave early in the morning to Hilo. Take Saddle Road for 1.2 hours. - Visit the Hilo historic downtown and its famous farmer’s market. - Get in the Volcanoes national Park in the afternoon from Hilo via Highway 11 going south, it’s a 40 min drive without traffic. - Visit the Thurston Lava Tube (Nahuku) - Hike across Kilauea Iki crater - You can get down to the crater and hike across the crater - When it’s dark, go to Jaggar Museum and overlook and watch the lava glowing in dark. http://hvo.wr.usgs.gov/

Highlight: Volcanically heated warm pond inside Ahalanui Park at Pahoa You could combine the visit to this pond with your day trip from our house to Volcano park, aka visit the pond in the morning then Volcano in the afternoon and evening. This pond is 1 hour drive to Volcano, it’s a detour when you head from Hilo to Volcano though.
