There are 4 National Parks on Big Island! You must see it!
If you are limited in time, you have to at least see Hawaii Volcano National Park. It’s the farthest, about 90 miles south from the condo and you will have to spend the day there. You can hike down to the crater so wear hiking shoes and layer your clothing as it gets cold, windy and rainy in the mountain. Check out the flyer I have under the living room table.
