Best of Hilo | Shore Excursion | NCL
Key Moments
Editorial Summary
The creator, a Hawaiian native, provides a guided overview of various natural landmarks and cultural sites available during a shore excursion in Hilo. The tour begins with a visit to Rainbow Falls, which the creator describes as a classic Hawaiian waterfall. The excursion then moves into Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, a vast area spanning over 330,000 acres. The itinerary includes a visit to a museum that offers views overlooking the Kilawea crater. Additionally, the tour features a descent into the Thurston Lava Tube. The creator explains that these tubes are formed when lava crusts over as it moves through an area. Throughout the journey, the landscape shifts significantly, transitioning from rainforest environments to desert settings. The creator notes that the drive through the park is a notable experience in itself due to these ecological changes and the proximity to volcanic activity that remains active underground.

Creator's Key Takeaways
As a Hawaiian, it gives me a lot of joy sharing our nature, sharing our land, our stories, and sharing our volcano.
Rainbow Falls is a beautiful classic Hawaiian waterfall.
Our Hawaii Volcanoes National Park is over 330,000 acres.
Just the actual drive through the park is a treat of its own because you change from rainforest, you can go through desert and yet below the ground we have something that could erupt any time.
