Just a 15-minute drive from Waikiki, its molten lava tubes extend to the ocean, pushing water up through its exit up to a height of 30 feet in the air. Lava on Hawaii, even at its most static, is an incredible sight, as a few glances at the dark, lunar-like landscapes of the lava fields will demonstrate. If visitors are lucky they will see its amber glow shuffling slowly from platforms of safety\u00a0\u2013 especially around the ocean near Kalapana (on the east side of the Big Island), which is particularly active now.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.insightvacations.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/lava-field-istock-theartist312.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-4009\" src=\"https:\/\/www.insightvacations.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/lava-field-istock-theartist312.jpg\" alt=\"Hawaii Nature\" width=\"1290\" height=\"1080\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.insightvacations.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/lava-field-istock-theartist312.jpg 1290w, https:\/\/www.insightvacations.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/lava-field-istock-theartist312-200x167.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.insightvacations.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/lava-field-istock-theartist312-768x643.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.insightvacations.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/lava-field-istock-theartist312-1024x857.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.insightvacations.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/lava-field-istock-theartist312-300x251.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.insightvacations.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/lava-field-istock-theartist312-600x502.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1290px) 100vw, 1290px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"IVcaption\">Lava Field \u00a9 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.istockphoto.com\/photo\/kilauea-volcano-lava-gm500281637-42481156\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">iStock\/theartist312<\/a><\/p>\n<p>These are all footnotes compared to the Volcanoes National Park, though. Offering the chance to spectate the primal process of creation and destruction that our earth is the product of, its most impressive volcano \u2013 Kilauea \u2013 is a sacred place for the Hawaiians, who believe the volcano goddess, Pele, lives there.

Yet again, Hawaii does not fail to supply. At the Akaka Falls State Park, after a short hike through wild orchids, bamboo groves and ferns, there\u2019s the 100-foot Kahuna Falls, with the 442-foot drop of the Akaka Falls gorge nearby. Both are dwarfed by the 1,450-foot plunge of Hiilawe Falls, however.
