$35 -- Big Island: Full-Day Volcano Tour w/Pickup, 50% off

The Deal

"If you do nothing else on the Big Island, do the volcano," advises Fodor's. Since its eruption began in 1983, Kilauea Volcano has steadily been "oozing new layers of lava onto its flanks," creating a show of "fire, earth, and water." With this deal for $35 per person (reg. $74), see the volcano and Big Island's other top sights on a full-day guided tour that includes Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, Thurston Lava Tube and the "magical" Rainbow Falls.

The volcano adventure tour includes transportation from every major Hilo hotel or the Hilo airport and is a convenient and informative way to make the most of your trip to the Big Island. You'll visit the following:

• Banyan Drive: the trees along this road were planted by religious leaders, political leaders, famous authors, movie stars, world adventurers and local Hawaiians dating back to 1933

• Rainbow Falls: see "magical rainbows in the mist" (Fodor's) at this 80-foot-tall, nearly 100-foot-wide waterfall in Wailuku River State Park that flows over a natural lava cave into a large freshwater pool surrounded by dense tropical fauna

• Hawaii Volcanoes National Park (includes admission): UNESCO World Heritage Site containing two of the most active volcanoes in the world, Mauna Loa and Kilauea

• Jagger Museum: learn about the history of the volcano park

• Thurston Lava Tube: a river of hot lava used to rush through this tube discovered in 1913 by Lorrin Thurston

• Kilauea Iki Crater: steam still escapes from this pit crater next to Kilauea's main summit caldera

• Mauna Loa Macadamia Nut Factory or Big Island Candies (depends on season)

• Orchid and anthurium nursery
