Big Island day trips

[TinkandGoofy'sMom]

Aside from exploring the many beautiful beaches and visiting Volcanoes National Park, are there any excursions that you would highly recommend? Thinking of ziplining, swimming with manta rays and dolphins, possibly horseback riding. Any advice is appreciated!
