-
Lili'uokalani GardensTake-in the tropical beauty of this ocean-side Japanese garden and take a quick picture of Hilo Town across the harbor with Mauna Kea staring down from it's 14,000 foot elevation.
-
Boiling PotsWe will catch a couple picturesque waterfalls as we explore the lush, green windward side of the Big Island.
-
Rainbow FallsThis beautiful waterfall is usually one of our first stops, depending on traffic and weather.
-
Kaumana Caves ParkOn days the Kilaeau is dormant, we will avoid the long drive to the crowded Nat'l Park and experience more peaceful but equally "volcanic" wonders, including this off-the-beaten path lava tube surrounded by lush jungle (does have steep steps down into the lava tube, so less adventurous travelers can enjoy the view from the top).
-
On dormant volcano days, travelers will get to see the unique "lava trees" caused by a fast-moving lava flow, adding to the "volcanic experience" of our tour.
- See what a massive volcanic fissure in 2018 did to a residential neighborhood. A good reminder that the Big Island continues to add to its mass through fire and molten lava. (pass by)
-
Isaac Hale Beach ParkBlack sand beach with natural thermal heated pools. See how the lava flow reached the ocean, eventually creating black sand beaches.
-
Hawaii Volcanoes National ParkOn days that Kilauea is erupting with Pele's wrath, we will prioritize heading straight to the Nat'l Park. On dormant days, we will save the long drive to the crowded park and experience the impact of past eruptions, including recent lava flows that took out entire neighborhoods and added to the size of the BIG Island.
-
Mauna Loa Macadamia Nut Visitor CenterTime permitting, you will have the opportunity to enjoy some free samples and possibly purchase a box of two of our favorite, locally raised/packaged macadamia nut sweets.
