Today we docked in Hilo. It's a lot easier to get off and on the ship when it's docked verses having to be tendered to shore. We once again boarded a bus and headed out to see the sights. 1st stop was Rainbow Falls. Very cool waterfall. 2nd stop was Akatsuka Orchid Gardens. They claimed to have an orchid worth $20,000 but we chose not to pay the extra $5 to see it. I really enjoyed the restroom and cold drinks. Our next stop was the Mauna Loa Macadamia Nut factory. Our last three stops where in Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park where we were able to hike through a lava tube, see the Kilauea Volcano release a robust plume of volcanic gas and spend some time in the visitor center.
