| | Hawaii Volcano TourWritten by Keith Thompson
A Hawaii volcano tour can be a most memorable experience, and is readily available (short of eruptions!) year round. While each island boasts some volcanic heritage, The Big Island is where all action is. A Hawaii volcano tour of necessity begins in Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, established in 1916. This park, containing more than 218,000 acres, is open daily and offers guided tours and more. It encompasses both world's most massive volcano, Mauna Kea, at 13,796 feet, and Kilauea, world's most active volcano. Mauna Kea, which in Hawaiian means literally "white mountain", gets this name from fact that it is quite often snow-capped. It is also thought to be world's tallest mountain when measured from it's undersea base to summit. Currently dormant, Mauna Kea has also become home of an important astronomical center, where astronomers from all over world vie for spots atop summit to view heavens.
