Volcanoes National Park - Our Favorite Island TripThe most unique attraction in Hawaii is the Volcanoes National Park. It features active Hawaii volcanos that have been oozing hot lava continually since 1983. It's path is very unpredictable causing the lava flow to come very close to the accessible Chain of Creaters Road. The most important fact about the area of Volcano is that within the park is Halema`uma`u, the home of the volcano goddess Pele. Pele traveled with several of her brothers and sisters across the ocean from Tahiti to these islands in search of a home. She was in search of a place with a pit deep enough to protect the sacred fires that she carried with her. More Info... Black Sand BeachPunalu'u Black Sand Beach is located on the southern part of the Big Island of Hawaii about half way between Volcanoes National Park and Na'alehu. It's located right next the Sea Mountain Golf courese. This is a great place to visit where you have a good chance of an encounter with the turtles of Panalu'u Black Sand Beach. A couple of things to keep in mind: Leave the black sand on the beach and don't touch or distress the turtles. More Info... Snorkeling AdventuresThe Big Island offers many places for great snorkeling adventures, one of them being the the Kahalu'u Beach Park. Many people pass this off as too convenient, but the fact is, it is one of the best snorkeling spots in Hawaii. There are many other places as well, places such as Ho'okena Beach Park, Honaunau (Place of Refuge), Kealakekua Bay, Hapuna Beach Park, and Mauna Kea Beach Park. More Info... Captain Cook Monument, Kealakekua BayOn Janurary 17, 1779 during a local religious festival, Captain James Cook and his ships, the Resolution and Discovery entered Kealakekua Bay. The Hawaiians welcomed him, thinking he was a returning god. Once the Hawaiians realized Cook and his crew were not immortal, Cook was surrounded and killed at this very spot. The Captain Cook Monument is only approachable by foot trail or by water. More Info...
