Reading all the comments, I know one should not do a one day trip to the Big Island but sometimes that's all one has. We can only either spend a day (really from 11AM to 8PM) or skip it for another trip but we would like to visit the national park.

Is it feasible to land at Hilo around 10AM, rent a car at the Airport, make a trip to Volcanoes National Park and be back to catch our flight to HNL around 8PM? How easy / difficult is the two hr drive from Hilo to VNP, especially on the way back when it may be dark? Is it worth it?

Any suggestions are very much appreciated.
