When did Diamond Head volcano erupt last?
It's difficult to be sure, since no humans were anywhere nearby when it happened, but it was probably about 150,000 years ago.
We believe that there is a stationary "hot spot" in the Earth's mantle, and that the Pacific tectonic plate has been sliding to the northwest. So the western islands like Niihau and Kauai formed long ago, and become dormant and then extinct as the plate moved; then the "hot spot" formed the island of Oahu, and then Maui and Molokai as the plate continued to move. These volcanoes are long dormant. The big island of Hawaii is currently over (or just moving off of) the hot spot, because that volcano is still active.
There's another submerged volcano southeast of Hawaii which is still erupting, and growing another island; it'll probably be another 10,000 years before that island erupts from the sea.

Would it be cheaper to go to Hawaii or Florida?
Are you kidding me? Hands down Hawaii... and all in all a better place to live too imo. I live on the Big Island in Hilo, and it's surreal to know that I can go snorkeling year round in Hilo bay on a black sand beach, or travel to the Kona side and go to some of the best beaches in the world (Hapuna, Mauna Kea etc.) If I don't feel like doing that, I can drive 15 minutes and see Waipeo Falls, one of the most breathtaking waterfalls one can find imo. Your options are more limited in Florida.
Florida is incredibly humid... and HOT. Here is is rarely more than 84 degrees with maybe 40-60% max humidity, and the trade winds constantly blow through the houses. That's why no one on the island has air conditioning. You don't need it. Try that in Florida and you'll catch a heat stroke.
Florida is also particularly flat... the beaches are just so so. The only people who rave about Florida beaches are the ones who haven't seen many tropical beaches and are impressed with light blue water. And some places in northern Florida are sub tropical. In Hawaii you can swim in better water imo... it's so clear you can see your shadow on the ocean floor, with a view of a mountain or a volcano in the background.
