Hawaii Big Island
Activities That You Should Not Skip
The Hawaiian Islands are like heaven on Earth. Most beautiful
and breathtaking landscapes, waterfalls and such a lush collection of culture
and tradition. Furthermore, such a vast collection of tourist spots and
countless activities to indulge in. Hawaii is definitely on the bucket list of
most people. It is believed that whoever visits these magnificent islands once,
is bound to return.
When planning a trip to Hawaii, there are so many fabulous
places to choose from. There are iconic spots in Hawaii that must be on the
list of first-time visitors. But there are more amazing places that only the
locals know about and will be worthy of your visit. We are here to make your
task of locating such places easier. Welcome to our guide to the Hawaiian
Islands! Given below is a list of splendid places that you can visit on your
next trip to Hawaii.
Kauai Landscapes
Those Kauai views cannot be rushed and must be taken from
every angle. A helicopter ride shows the beautiful waterfalls. Sailing along
the coast makes you feel insignificant against the natural majesty. A catamaran
snorkeling walk reveals water wonders. Furthermore, the zodiac walks approach
the sea caves, Hawaiian monk seals, dolphin pods or green sea turtles. Kauai is
the only island of the state with navigational rivers, making it perfect for
kayaking or an indoor tube tour.
Do you love a challenge? Explore the legendary coastline, a
22-kilometer long footpath that is considered the best backpacking route of the
state.
Molokini
The small island shaped like a moon is actually a partially
immersed volcanic crater. It is also a conservation district of marine life and
the sanctuary of Seabird State Hawaii. Raised waters make it a prime location
for snorkeling and divers who love the visibility of more than 250 marine
species. Birdwatchers can expect Wedge-tailed Shearwaters and Bulwers Petrels
nesting on the rocky shores.
Journey to Hana
Dripping with green ferns, confined by waterfalls and dotted
with food samples to try, the iconic and winding Hana road is truly an
unforgettable journey. However, it would be a mistake to reverse and return
after reaching the city of Hana. If green meadows and ocean views are yours,
spend a night or two here. During the day, continue to the Haleakala National Park
from the east end. Take a three-hour trip (varies depending on the stages) on
the Pīpīwai Trail, including the beautiful bamboo forest and the Waimoku
waterfall 400 meters high. You can also take a swimsuit and spend an afternoon
with the panorama at Oheo Gulch, or Seven Sacred Pools.
Haleakala on Maui Nui
The road to the 10.023 foot top of the dormant Haleakala
volcano is not for the weak. Those who come there earlier (often at 4:30),
suffer from the white-knuckle drive, wearing winter hats and gloves, and
carrying hot coffee thermoses. It's all worth it for that pure magic moment
when the sun sets out above the clouds. New rules require a sunrise
reservation, so book early to make sure you can work it in your visit.
Kilauea Volcano
There are five active volcanoes in the state of Hawaii and
four on Big Island. What you want to look for is the Kilauea Volcano. It broke
out since 1983 and is considered one of the most active volcanoes in the world.
Get a good view of the 11-mile Crater Rim Drive, which surrounds the top
caldera. For a great excitement drive the Chain of Crater's Roads (19 miles)
that goes down 3700 meters to the coast and look at the lava entering the
ocean.
Shores of Maui - Whale Watching
If you're on the coast of Maui between January and March, you
will probably see the humpback whales jumping and splashing on an impressive
view along the coast. Over 10,000 whales leave Alaska every winter to feed,
raise and nurse their young. Hawaii is the only state in the nation where all
three activities take place. That's the only way that has led to an improved
whaling population in recent years.
Revisit Waikiki
Although this popular tourist place is famous for its beach,
it still attracts crowds with other offers. New hotels, a renewed international
market, world-class restaurants and luxury shops offer new opportunities for
tourists. Do not miss the Honolulu Biennial, a new multinational contemporary
art festival. The exhibition presents the diversity of ideas, arts and culture
of more than 30 artists from Hawaii, the Pacific, Asia, North America,
Australia and New Zealand.
Shangri La on Oahu
Doris Duke, an American heiress, and philanthropist filled
her Shangri La's house, inspired by her travels all over the world, including
stops in Iran, Lebanon, Egypt, and Syria. Her extensive collection led to the
creation of a Doris Duke Foundation for Islamic art and to restore her home to
the Islamic Center for Arts and Culture. Visit this incredible house, meet
residents and artists and learn about the fascinating woman who lived there.
We hope that this guide will help you visit some of the most
amazing places in Hawaii. Don't forget to let us know about your experience in
