HAWAII BIG ISLAND! Volcanoes National Park and Punalu'u BLACK SAND BEACH!! (NCL Pride of America)
Key Moments
Editorial Summary
The creators document a day of exploration on the Big Island of Hawaii during a cruise stop in Hilo. After renting a Dodge Challenger, they visit Volcanoes National Park, where they explore the visitor center and walk through a lava tube. Although they express disappointment at not seeing orange lava, they observe smoke from the Kilauea overlook. The trip continues to Punalu'u Black Sand Beach, which the creators visit to celebrate their twenty-fifth wedding anniversary. They also visit Akaka Falls, noting the ease of the hike compared to previous experiences. Following their excursions, they return to the ship to enjoy a relaxed evening. The day concludes with a casual anniversary dinner at the Cadillac Diner, where they eat cheeseburgers, hot dogs, and milkshakes. They reflect on the busy but enjoyable nature of their travels before retiring for the night.
