About Volcano, Chocolate & Waterfalls (From Kona, Waikoloa & Hilo)
Spend a full day with Hawaii Forest & Trail visiting Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, Lavaloha Chocolate Farm and a waterfall-side chocolate tasting on the Big Island.
Combine volcanic drama with a sweet finish on this in-depth journey through Hawaii Volcanoes National Park and a hillside cacao farm overlooking Hilo Bay.
