Before we went to the Volcano National park, we did some exploring around the property here at the Kulaniapia Falls B&B.
You can see Hilo and the small airport from our balcony
A beautiful walk with several small water falls
And the Kulaniapia Falls, which we can watch from the patio where we eat breakfast
Fortunately, or unfortunately, depending on where you are standing, there were no active lava fountains or lava flows today coming from Mount Kiluea, but lots of steam vents, and still a very active volcano. The last big eruption was 2003.
This is where the 2003 lava crossed the road
Road closed. Duh!
We went through some lava tubes
Beautiful Ferns growing out of old lava
Cliffs where the lava met the sea
At the end of the day, relaxed in a geothermally heated pond, that mixed hot water coming from the hot artesian water with waves from the ocean. Pretty awesome!
And some sage advice for the end of the day:
