Destinations

If your idea of a dream vacation includes getting up close and personal with some magnificent volcanoes, here are a few places you should consider booking for your next trip.

 

Hawai’i

Hawai’i and volcanoes are almost synonymous — and if you visit Hawai’i Volcanoes National Park, you can see two of the most active volcanoes in the world: Kīlauea and Mauna Loa. Hike your way through lava tubes and craters, and if you still can’t get enough, consider booking a trip with tour provider Holiday Vacations, which will organize explorations of volcanoes on other Hawaiian islands as well during your vacay.

 

Iceland

Similarly, Iceland is also synonymous with volcanic activity — especially in recent history — and it’s a perfect Hawai’i alternative if you’re trying to escape the heat. Combine volcanic adventures with a cruise, like those offered by Windstar Cruises.

 

Yellowstone

There’s no need to leave the mainland to see volcanoes, though. Did you know Yellowstone National Park is actually situated atop a volcano? That’s why the park is filled with geysers and hot springs. Explore the park’s more than 500 geysers — even in the winter, thanks to snow coach transportation offered by Yellowstone National Park Lodges.
