A Big Island vacation excites the senses and inspires the adventurer. You can hike into a volcano crater, catch marlin weighing hundreds of pounds, discover our universe from the top of Mauna Ke'a, and outstare a shark from the safety of a submarine porthole. The Big Island has the world's most active volcano: Kilauea has been spewing lava intermittently since January 3, 1983. Vacation secrets abound; let us provide you a guide to the Beach and Ocean, Land, Volcano, and Bargains of the Big Island. BEACHES Hawaii's pristine beaches abound. There are 80 or more beaches, and new ones are formed when molten lava shattered as it hit cold ocean waters. Beautiful marine life can be observed by snorkeling or scuba diving from boat and from shore. OCEAN Spectacular crystal-clear Hawaiian waters await you. Experience the stunning corals, fish, turtles, dolphins, and whales that populate the islands. Kayak across the blue water and marvel at the scenery in paradise. Don't forget your underwater camera! SIGHTSEEING Hike to a scenic waterfall. Relax on a black sand beach. Explore ancient Hawaiian ruins. Experience the different climate zones, beautiful plant and animal species. Many sights and species are native only to the Hawaiian Islands. Take ample photos and videos to cherish your vacation. VOLCANO Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park, established in 1916, displays the results of 70 million years of volcanism, migration, and evolution. Kilauea, the world's most active volcano, offers scientists insights on the birth of the Hawaiian Islands and visitors views of dramatic volcanic landscapes. KONA Kona is famous for sportfishing, snorkeling, sunsets and coffee. It means leeward in Hawaiian and stretches along the isles west side. The northern portion of the Kona side is also known as the Kohala district. You will see strikingly different terrain features as you travel up and down the coast. HILO Historic Downtown Hilo is alive and bustling. More laid back from the hustle of more touristy Hawaii, one can find great bargains in this quaint town. Its diverse shopping opportunities, small scale, and friendliness makes Hilo an enchanting town to visit and explore. With lots of rain, you will find Hilo exceptionally green and fertile. 2006 All Rights Reserved - Contact Let's Go Hawaii - Links Travel Resources Discount Hawaii Airfare Kona Hawaii Hotels Vacation Rentals Vacation Packages Rental Cars Hilo Hattie - Souvenirs Tours and Activities Discount Calling Cards Hawaii Travel Links Hawaii Library Maps of Big Island Travel Guides Hawaiian Islands Diving and Snorkeling Photo Galleries Hawaii Photos Hawaiian Sea Turtle Volcano Photos Sunset Photos Diving Photos Send an e-Postcard Hawaii Souvenirs Hawaiian Shirts Macadamia Nuts Hawaiian Flowers Kona Coffee Hilo Hattie Store Hawaiian Surfwear Hawaiian Shirts Guide Books Macadamia Nuts

Hawaii with Grandma & the kids Flying Hawaiian Air General Advice about Going to Hawaii Hawaii Wedding/Honeymoon Specific Islands the Big Island Kauai Maui Oahu Trip to Hawaii with a 13 month old May 2004 Hi. My husband and I are planning a week long vacation in Hawaii. It does not matter which island (except Maui since we've been there before) to go, but we'd like to have a relaxing time. We have a very active 13 months old son. Any recommendation on baby friendly hotels or condos? We prefer to stay in a condo so that we can cook meals for our son.I already read the previous recommendations on the web. I'd love to have more updated opinions. THANKS! anon Recommended: the Big Island Mauna Lani Terrace condos Kauai Kiahuna Plantation resort Kauai Poipu Beach (2 reviews) Need a rental - any island OK April 2004 Help help help! Here's what I need to find: a 3 bedroom (no lofts or pull-out sofas; we NEED 3 bedrooms) condo or house on or near the water in Hawaii (any island). Must have good amenities and be well furnished, and allow small children. Pool a plus. I've looked at the archives, on the net, and thru all the Wizard Publications guidebooks (Maui Revealed, etc.), and most of the things I've found either don't have 3 bedrooms, don't allow children, or are in the ''not fancy, but clean and comfortable'' category. Does anyone know of a friend who has a nice place they rent out? I've done many a google search and my eyes are bleary!thanks!Ellen Recommended: Kauai, North Shore Maui, Kapalua Bay Toy Rentals for Hotel Room Use? March 2004 is anyone familiar with a company in kauai that rents children's toys while you visit the island? i'm not looking for water toys, but rather everyday toys to play with while staying in hotel rooms.pamela Try the Keiki Cottage in Kapaa. It's a consignment store and Holly rents things like pack n plays, so she might do toys too. Have a great trip!!Rachel How about www.babysaway.comRebecca Hawaii with Grandma & the kids April 2002 Any recommendations for good spots in Hawaii to take a senior citizen who's always wantedto see Hawaii, but isn't very active (can't do a lot of walking)? Accomodations can't berustic, but we're also not looking for ultra-luxury (finances are an issue).Some historical spots, some shopping would be good, but don't need a lot of either. Probablymost important is that it be a beautiful setting (since she's probably got some classic Hawaiianimage--crystal blue water, palm trees, sunsets, etc.--in her mind). Nice beaches are important,too, to keep the grandkids happy. Plan is to go around Thanksgiving. Thanks in advance for anyrecommendations.(Yes, I've looked at the Hawaii recommendations already, but nothing struck me as the perfectplace to meet these needs. Hoping my request will spark a response from folks in a similarposition, or who see their favorite Hawaiian spot as perfect for taking both a senior and kids...)Judy Recommendations received: Kawaii (two) Flying Hawaiian Air August 2002 I'm interested in hearing comments (good and bad) from peoplewho have flown Hawaiian Air from the Bay Area to Honolulu. I'veonly flown with them on short inter-island flights in Hawaii.Our family is planning a trip to Hawaii. The fact that they flyout of Oakland or Sacramento instead of SFO intrigues me (Ireally dislike SFO).Clarisse I haven't flown Hawaiian Air out of Oakland, but I have flownAloha Air from Oakland to Maui. Aloha Air also flies fromOakland to Honolulu. The attendants are pretty much the mostpleasant I have encountered on any airline. You can use UnitedMileage Plus miles to fly on Aloha Air (or earn United MileagePlus miles), as they are partners. This definitely beats makingthe trek to SFO and dealing with the craziness there!!Yearly traveler to Maui My husband and I had a bad experience traveling on Hawaiian Airabout 18 months ago. There were mechanical problems and thecompany seemed to be really unorganized in terms of getting allthe passengers on other flights and in terms of keepingpassengers posted as to the status of the mechanics working onthe plane. They also failed to announce that there were freevouchers available for food at the airport during the longwait. Once we made it on the flight, I found out from aseatmate that if you ASKED for vouchers they were given out andmy husband and I had just spent about $35 of our own money onmeals. It seemed rather unfair. We sat in the airport forabout 20 hours. It was horrible and I don't think we would flythem again.The one thing they did handle well was that they gave everyonefree round trip tickets (on Hawaiian Air) to fly to Hawaii againin the next 12 months.Good luck.Julie We flew Hawaiian from SFO - HNL several times and will not usethem in the future. We had one flight where all the attendentswere fighting with each other. On another flight, where weused our free mileage, they totally messed up our reservation.On the other hand, we most recently used Aloha from OAK - HNLand we were very pleased with the customer service andprofessionalism. I think they do fly a smaller plane than otherairlines, and my partner felt quite cramped. Nonetheless,we plan to use Aloha again.Regards, Michele General Advice about Going to Hawaii From: Karen Have a great time. We went to Kauai when our daughter was 2 and Maui whenshe was 4ish. One thing I discovered both times (for different reasons) isthat our family does better when the place we sleep is delightful enough tospend a good portion of the day in. We really needed a place that wasexotic, Hawaii, versitile enough to be satisfying without driving. Whenour daughter was 2, if we spent a moderate time driving to the beautifulbeach or hike (and home again), there was lots of fussing, sleeping in thecar and then not at naps or nights. When our daughter was 4ish, she lovedbeing in charge of her environment - playing games in the cabin, drawing inthe cabin, exploring outside the cabin etc. Our ideas of driving to thebeach or the state park were met with much protest! (I was very surprised!)Luckily, we ended up in a couple of places that satisfied her age-relatedneeds and our needs to feel like we really were away from home. On Kauaiiwe stayed at Glo Manor on the north coast. We found them on the internet.We also rented a cabin at Waimea Canyon State Park. I was less contenthere because the ocean was not walkable. But the hiking is great. It isthat tropical forest surrounding. On Maui, in Hana, we rented a cabin atthe Waianapanapa State Park. Cabin are very sparsely equipped. Cabins 1-7have nice views. Our best choice for the 4 year old was the 1st floorcondo a Maalea Bay in Maui. We had a relatively calm beach, great views,lots of grandparent aged people that would chat with my daughter, somefamilies with kids. I can get phone #'s for you if you have troublefinding them. The next place we want to try is camping on Lanai. I haven'tinvestigated it much. It could be hard if there were no other kids there From: laura beth I know there are some places you can camp, but in general, camping isprohibited (and it is strictly enforced) on the beaches. So, I have noinfo really except that I know people who went over thinking, "weel, I canjust camp and I won;t get a ticket" and this is not the fact of the matter.They do ticket and will arrest. Good luck! From: Deborah Just got back from a week on Oahu with kids age 4 and 8. It was great. Westayed at a B&B in a small beach town called Waimanalo, about a half hourfrom Honolulu. I would recommend the place we stayed, called "Nalo Winds"www.nalowinds.com.For $550 for 7 nights we had the "mermaid suite," a good-sized bedroom witha queen bed, a teeny bathroom (shower only--no tub), and a large lanai(screened porch) with a double futon, table and 4 chairs, and kitchenettewith small fridge, 2 burner hotplate, microwave, toaster oven, coffeemaker. The kitchen was stocked with coffee, tea, milk, juice, fruit,yogurt, cereal, muffins. One of the things I liked most is that the lanaiopens onto a private garden with a small lawn and hammock. The rental alsoincludes the use of a wide selection of snorkelling equipment (some kidsize), adult bikes, coolers, a gas grill, washer/dryer, kiddie pool. Itsort of felt like borrowing someone's slightly funky, but comfortable beachhouse (oh, it's half a block from the beach). There's no tv/vcr, which wedidn't miss, and sound carries perfectly from the bedroom to the lanai, soit's hard for someone to take a nap in one room while others are playing inthe other room. I wouldn't think Hawaii would be a great place to camp for a week, butmaybe for part of the time. It can get really hot and also rainy. You wouldneed to get ice daily to keep food cold. Be sure to find someplace withshowers for all the sand and saltwater (some beaches have showers...) Hawaii Wedding/Honeymoon Claudia My sister is getting married in May and is planning a honeymoon in Hawaii, 5 days in Maui and 5 in Kauai. Since they're travelling on a shoestring budget, my husband and I would like to give them a gift certificate for some activity to do there -- like a snorkeling/sailing package or biking down the volcano in Maui. Does anyone have any good suggestions for activities on either island that are fun, adventurous and memorable and cost under $200? They're both active, outdoorsy types who would be willing to try pretty much anything. We also thought of treating them to dinner at a romantic restaurant so if anyone has a recommendation for a nice place for honeymooners, I'd appreciate it. Thanks for your help. Linda A great romantic restaurant on Kauai with amazing food is The Beach House near Poipu. It has a wonderful view (go near sunset), and the food is wonderful (but not cheap). It is a sister restaurant to A Pacific Cafe on the east side of the island, which has great food too but no view. We really enjoyed the boat/snorkeling tours we took. We did one on Kauai around the Na Pali coast (only accessible by boat or foot). On Maui, we did a snorkeling tour to Molikini, a tiny island crater. There were boats packed in the little crater, but despite the crowds the snorkeling was great (tons of fish). We booked these trips through our hotels, and I don't remember the costs. From: Christina My husband and I honeymooned on Kauai and our favorite beach on the island wasPolihale State Beach. It's the most south-westerly beach on the island that'saccessible by car, and a great place to watch the sun set. It's a long stretch of beach, and at one end the Na Pali coastline begins with it's dramatic lushgreen steep cliffs. Also there aren't many people there, since it is a bit ofa drive (5 minutes off the highway on a dirt road). Would be most convenient if you are staying in Poipu or west of Poipu. Congratulations!

If you are already a registered Content Tycoon user: Hawaii (The big Island) - A City Guide Author: Nivedita Balamurugan Introduction There's no place on earth quite like this handful of sun-drenched, mid-Pacific islands. The Hawaii of South Seas literature and Hollywood films really does exist. Here one will find palm-fringed blue lagoons, lush rainforests, hidden gardens, cascading waterfalls, wild rivers running through rugged canyons, and soaring volcanoes. And those beaches -- gold, red, black, and even green sands caressed by endless surf - a perfect place for spending holidays. History After a series of battles that ended in 1795 and peaceful cession of the island of Kauai in 1810, the Hawaiian Islands were united for the first time under a single ruler who would become known as King Kamehameha the Great. He established the House of Kamehameha, a dynasty that ruled over the kingdom until 1872. One of the most important events during those years was the suppression of the Hawaii Catholic Church. The Newlands Resolution was passed on July 7, 1898, formally annexing Hawaii as a United States territory. In 1900, it was granted self-governance and retained Iolani Palace as the territorial capitol building. In March 1959, both houses of Congress passed the Admission Act and U.S. President Dwight D. Eisenhower signed it into law. On June 27 of that year, a plebiscite was held asking residents of Hawaii to vote on accepting the statehood bill. After statehood, Hawaii quickly became a modern state with a construction boom and rapidly growing economy. Place of interest It will not be a small list if anyone tries to make a list of all tourist attractions. The partial list should be look like this: "Akaka Falls, "Captain Dan McSweeney's Year-Round Whale-Watching Adventures "Captain Zodiac, "Ellison S. Onizuka Space Center, "Fair Wind Snorkeling and Diving Adventures, "Hapuna Golf Course, "Mauna Lani Frances I'i Brown Championship Courses, "Pololu Valley Lookout, "Puuhonua O Honaunau National Historical Park, "World Botanical Garden.

Besides these market places shopping malls and individual shops are there in Hawaii Big Island. Hilo Hattie - The Store of Hawaii, Hilo Shopping Center, Keauhou Shopping Center, King's Shops, Kona Coast Shopping Center, Lanihau Center are some shopping centers in Hawaii Big Island. Food & Drink So many restaurants, so little time for a traveler when it comes the time to wine and dine in Big Island. The Big Island's delicious dilemma is its daunting size and abundant offerings of its own cuisine. Shaka Restaurant, Anthony's Bistro & Bar, Charley's Bar & Grill, Grand Palace, Ting Hao, Bamboo Restaurant, Hualalai Grille By Alan Wong, Merriman's, Aloha Angel Café, Big Island Grill are some of the great places for wine and dine.
