Something to keep in mind!

There are some wonderful areas to investigate on your own. Sunshiners may drive to near-by beaches and soak in the salty-sweet waters by cascading hillsides. If your sports minded, one may plan personal outdoor time to surf, snorkel or schedule private island excursions. All in all, there will be health and wellness going hand-in-hand with being in a tropical environment. So planning a few extra days might be just up your alley.

Scenic Hawaii

Visiting on the Big Island includes the Hamakua Coast, dramatic waterfalls and the Waipoa Valley considered by some to be the most beautiful Tropical Forest in the world. The green lake on the volcano bottom, the volcano floor and active lava flow entering the ocean, with the earth separating beneath you – so watch out! Dolphins swim in Kona. Go from sea level in 1 ½ hour to the top of a snow covered mountain at Mana Kea Observatory. There are 21 of the 23 climatic zones on one island, from surf, to tropical rain forests, to desert, to mountaintops. You will be impressed with the diversity of the Big Island of Hawaii.
