Hilo, located on the east coast, is the capital of Hawaii Island. My mom rented a car so that we could visit the Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. We drove along the Crater Rim Drive - an 11 mile circle around the Kilauea Caldera. We stopped at the various attractions along the road. It was neat walking through the Thurston Lava Tube - a 15-minute loop (the lighted section). We didn't venture into the unlighted area. You will need a flash light if you are interested in exploring the lava tube further.
We also visited the Rainbow Fall and went a little upstream to see the Boiling Pots. Before we returned to the ship, we stopped by a beautiful Japanese garden called LiLiuokalani Gardens.
