Hike descending down through an epic and lush rainforest or just drive around the top edge, to see into the huge and arrid, beautiful crater; steam vents rise out of the earth all around you :!
About 1-1.5 hours each way. It was life altering and we take frends here often~!
Don't forget to make reservations for dinner afterward at the TASTIEST Volcano House Inn Restaurant. :]

The most stunning and seemingly fake view of the stars we've ever seen ~! There were so many visible constellations we could barely differentiate them.
Start around 3/4pm, to arrive to the summit [ or just to the visitors cetner if you can be sensitive to altitude - the Summit is 14,000 Feet from sea level - the Visitor's Center is 9000. ] - arrive just in time for Sunset.
Then watch the guided lecture pointing out every star in the sky, including on a very clear night, visible moving satellites. Breathtaking :D

Great and vast array of artists showing from all over, locally, with emerging and established as well. The space is an old and very-well-preserved precinct so it really has wonderful and beautiful character and presence. Also don't forget to visit 'Akaka Falls or also Rainbow Falls n Hilo, and eat from their farmer's market or one of the tasty restaurants [ Pineapples is a good one for lunch ] :]
