Punalu'u Black Sand beach

Have you ever seen a beach with black sand? Because of constant volcanic activity, you'll find white sands and black sands on the island of Hawaii. Located on the southeastern Ka'u coast, Punaluu Black Sand Beach is one of the most famous black sand beaches in Hawaii. Located between the towns of Pahala and Naalehu in Ka'u, Punaluu Black Sand Beach's jet black shores are an unforgettable sight. Coconut palms fringe the upper edge of sand and you may also discover large Honu, (Hawaiian Green Sea Turtles), basking on the beach.

Hawaii Volcanoes National Park

Hawai‘i Volcanoes National Park protects some of the most unique geological, biological, and cultural landscapes in the world. The park encompasses the summits of the world's most active volcano, Kīlauea. The only comprehensive Park Tour available. Tour the Park and the entire Chain of Craters Road from Summit to Sea.

Saddle Road

Saddle Road, Hawaii, is considered among the most spectacular roads in the world. This is 55-mile drive of a chance of a lifetime experience. Hawaii’s Route 200 goes through all four of her climates – tropical forests, arid desert, lush grasslands and misty mountaintop fog. Between miles 19 and 23, you’ll see a few places with lava flows and young vegetation and trees. But just after Saddlehouse Road, you’ll see the ridges that show where a 1936 flow slowly came to a stop 2 miles away. Near the road you can see where lava thickened and left the telltale mounds of a slowing flow. From here, you’ll continue through the volcanic aftermath of hundreds of thousands of years of lava activity as you head toward Belt Road, where you’ll eventually descend into Kona or Waikoloa.

Rainbow Falls

On sunny days, rainbows appear in the mist of the 80-foot falls, making for some pretty magical views. The broad waterfall — nearly 100 feet in diameter — plunges over a natural lava cave and into the river below. When it rains, (which it often does in Hilo), the engorged Wailuku River makes the falls wider, muddier and louder. On these days, you won’t see the rainbows for which this spot is named, but the sheer volume of water and the accessibility of this spot for all ages make it a fun, quick and easy excursion.

Guides are specialists in topography and geography. They offer a lot of things that other tours don't teach us and experiences that are unique to us. They talk to everyone while driving. They prepared a lunch restaurant that was not affected by the weather. It is a mountain, so I was relieved because the weather is changeable. He was also a very attentive and lovely guide, giving us information about the city as well as rest and toilets. I definitely recommend it if you want to experience a real tour, not a commercial one.

The visit to the park starts from the visitor center where you can receive information and an explanation of the attractions. Currently the famous tour of the crater cannot be done as the recent eruptions have forced the management to close part of it including the old observatory from where it was possible to see the lava inside the crater. At the various stops you can see puffs of hot air coming out of cracks in the ground, the inside of the crater with active fumaroles. If you have time, I recommend the road that leads from the top of the crater to the sea, passing through the various old lava flows. Entrance fee only by credit card at the entrance or online.
