Bus Driver & Tour Guide


We were on a tour to Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. This is our bus, driver/tour guide, and a representative of the ship, ms Statendam. They give the Hawaiian hand sign meaning hang loose. Our driver said he was like most Hawaiians, that is, he was of mixed ancestry—Hawaiian, Chinese, and Portugese.

This picture was taken from behind the Volcano House Hotel looking out on the Kilauea Caldera. Just visible near the horizon is the Halema'uma'u Crater. This is one of many craters of the Kilauea Volcano. In the background, Mauna Loa gradually rises to the right in pale blue tones.

This view of the caldera and crater was taken from the Jaggar Museum on the northwest side of the caldera. The crater is nearby and clearly visible. The rim of the caldera is not obvious in this shot.
