Volcano National Park, Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, Island of Hawaii, HI

Get up close and personal with a volcano at the Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. Stop by the Kilauea Visitor Center to pick up a map and ask a ranger for their recommendation on the best route. Hike the Kilauea Iki lava field, check out the Nahuku Thurston lava tubes, and drive the Chain of Craters Road. Bring plenty of water, snacks, and sunscreen, and don’t forget headlamps and binoculars if you’re planning to experience the molten lava’s glow at night. There’s so much to do at this experience of a lifetime—consider extending your visit by booking a stay at the Volcano House Hotel. – Tripadvisor

In 1984 Hawaii Tropical Botanical Garden opened its doors to the world showcasing one man’s vision, the vision that he could truly make a difference in the world. Dan Lutkenhouse believed that if you took care of the land, the land would take care of the planet. He worked very hard to preserve the natural topography of the land and the native artifacts within the garden. Today, 40 years later HTBG is a thriving nonprofit botanical garden, with paved trails that wind through 17 acres touching the ocean, filled with beauty and adventure around every corner. Located in Onomea Bay we are dedicated to tropical plants, education, preservation of the rainforest, and the propagation of endangered flora and fauna species. We are located at 27-717 Old Mamalahoa Hwy on the Big Island of Hawaii and open daily from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, last admission 4:00 PM.

State Hwy 160, Honaunau, Island of Hawaii, HI 96726

Extending along the lava flats of the Kona Coast, Puʻuhonua o Hōnaunau National Historical Park is home to some of the most significant traditional Hawaiian sites in the Hawaiian archipelago. One of the most prominent features of the park is the Puʻuhonua or place of refuge which is enclosed by a massive 965 foot long dry stacked wall. Serving as a sanctuary in ancient times for defeated warriors, noncombatants, and those who violated kapu (sacred laws), Puʻuhonua o Hōnaunau remains a sacred place to those who set foot on its grounds. The protected waters of Hōnaunau Bay combined with the availability of water from brackish springs provided the ideal location for the aliʻi - Hawaiian royalty - who established important residential and ceremonial sites nearby, specifically an area known today as the Royal Grounds of Kauwalomalie. The deification house known as Hale o Keawe, is where many of our islands previous rulers were made into gods among their people. Visit Respectfully.

Highway 11, Pahala, Island of Hawaii, HI 96777

This easily accessible beach lies between the towns of Pahala and Naalehu, and is a popular detour when visiting the Volcanoes National Park. It draws both locals and travelers to its shores for its gorgeous black sand—a result of underwater volcanic activity—and for those hoping to catch a glimpse of the elusive and endangered hawksbill and green sea turtles. If you're lucky, you might spot these creatures resting on the warm, black sand. Hawaiian monk seals sometimes make a rare appearance, too. Tours of the Big Island often include a stop at this black sand beach, along with Akaka and Rainbow Falls. – Tripadvisor
