The park encompasses diverse environments that range from sea level to the summit of the earth's most massive volcano, Mauna Loa at 13,677 feet. Kilauea, the world's most active volcano, offers scientists insights on the birth of the Hawaiian Islands and visitors views of dramatic volcanic landscapes. Over half of the park is designated wilderness and provides unusual hiking and camping opportunities. In recognition of its outstanding natural values, Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park has been honored as an International Biosphere Reserve and a World Heritage Site.

HOME | MODEL PORTFOLIOS | EVENTS SCHEDULE | EVENT PHOTOS | BECOME A MODEL | GO SHOPPING | MUCH, MUCH MORE... About Home | About Ron Rice | About Amy Raley Ron Rice (owner/founder of Hawaiian Tropic ) is the perfect example of the "American Dream". Born near Asheville, NC, Rice grew up in a "two-story log cabin" on his family owned mountain. An entrepreneur from the age of five, he sold everything from homemade Christmas wreaths to honey, grapes, apples and apple cider at his roadside stand. Rice remembers coming home from football practice each day and spending every spare minute with his family carrying rocks and mortar to the peak of their mountain to build their father's dream house. Sadly, his parents only lived in the home for one year before the State Transportation Dept. ordered the house torn down to make room for Highway 26. Uprooted, Clyde Rice died a year later at the age of 73. "How hard he worked at his job on that house - had a lasting impression on me," quotes Rice. After graduating from college, Rice moved first to Myrtle Beach, SC and then to Florida following the sun, working as a teacher and a lifeguard. When Rice created Hawaiian Tropic in a garbage can (right), in his garage, he was earning $4300 per year as a chemistry teacher/football coach at a local high school and a summertime lifeguard. He mixed batches of coconut oil, bananas, aloe avocados and other exotic ingredients and hired a crew of three pre-teens to fill bottles and keep track of the secret recipe. By sampling on the beach and utilizing lifeguard friends and fellow teachers to distribute the product, demand for the product grew throughout the United States. To increase notoriety and sales, Rice turned to something else he knew well - sports! We sponsored everything you could think of. We were in NASCAR racing for ten years and Paul Newman drove the winning "Hawaiian Tropic Porsche at the 24 Hours of LeMans, France. We were involved in hang-gliding, surfing, skydiving, water-skiing, snow skiing, tennis tournaments and on and on," says Rice. The name Hawaiian Tropic grew to worldwide renown. Next was the development of the Miss Hawaiian Tropic International Pageant . This annual search for the most beautiful woman in the world is now the second largest pageant in the world. Over 1,500 pageants are run in the US alone and pageants are held in 45 other countries to select the finalists. Miss Hawaiian Tropic International , along with other selected finalists and contestants, travel the globe participating in major media promotions. The team makes appearances at such events as charity functions, sportscar races, concerts, the Cannes Film Festival , music videos, MTV and in major film productions. They meet stars like Burt Reynolds on location for filming, Clint Eastwood at celebrity charity ski tournaments, and Julio Iglesias at concerts an on music video productions. The models also travel to exotic beach locations for the annual Hawaiian Tropic photo shoot. These photos are used for television, major fashion magazines worldwide, billboards and calendars. Today, Hawaiian Tropic is the second largest suncare manufacturer in the world, with twelve manufacturing plants on five continents, grossing over $200 million per year. The garbage can ( right) used to mix that first batch is silverplated and stands in Rice's living room as a reminder of the "early" days and Rice's tireless effort. Rice is single with daughter Sterling (left) . The Rice's enjoy the "good life," with an 80-foot sailing yacht lovingly named the Princess Sterling , and a $250,000 Lamborghini that was loaned to Ron's buddies, Burt and Hal for the movie "Cannonball Run." Rice's main residence in Daytona Beach is a $5.5 million palatial estate with four pools, a recording studio and a disco. In memory of his Dad, Ron had truck loads of granite brought down from North Carolina to provide the exterior for his home. Clyde Rice would have liked that.
