Hawaii Volcano Observatory is

*** VOLCANO! *** VOLCANO! Land of fire and home of Pele! HAWAII VOLCANOES NATIONAL PARK The premier Big Island attraction is 30 miles from Hilo and attracts over two million visitors each year. At the main visitor center, an outstanding film begins every hour on the hour introducing you to volcanology. The Jaggar Museum at Hawaii Volcano Observatory is perched above the rim of Halemaumau Crater with outstanding educational exhibits and displays. Besides earth sciences and volcanology, the park is also the center of Hawaiian cultural preservation and values. Unlike other volcanoes, Hawaiian eruptions are not generally explosive and are relatively safe if you obey the rangers. The current eruption phase has began with dramatic fountaining on January 3, 1983 and has been steadily pumping molten lava into a well developed tube system that speeds the fluid magma to the sea to build new land. It's cut Chain of Craters Road but you'll be able to get near the new flow, explore the old Hawaiian village sites, the petroglyph trails, and see the aesthetic beauty of fresh lava. The park is filled with things to learn, panoramic scenery, details of nature, and places to explore. Hike across a frozen lava crater floor with steam still rising. Explore a "kipuka" island of old forest surrounded with barren newer lava. Walk through a lava tube or see "lava trees" or tree molds. There's so much to see and do and only some of it is covered in the following two links! HAWAII VOLCANOES NATIONAL PARK WEBSITE KILAUEA UPDATE - HAWAII VOLCANO OBSERVATORY VOLCANO VILLAGE Just outside the park, the village is steadily and quietly becoming a major destination with a lot of the flavor of California's Marin County or Carmel-Monterey. At a cool elevation, it was a favorite area for the wealthiest families from throughout Hawaii to have vacation homes. From ancient times, Volcano has been a sacred place where Pele and nature rules. It's the very special Big Island place that cannot be discovered by the day-trippers or cruise boat passengers on the tour buses. Those who know or seek to discover make Volcano Village their basecamp. Some beautiful older vacation estates have been converted into wonderful, comfortable, and personalized small scale accommodations. The inventory keeps growing to serve all segments of interests and budgets. Modern elegant retreats or historical comfortable homes featuring full breakfast table discussions of places to see or things to do. Luxurious secluded vacation homes or larger facilities are ideal for elegant corporate retreats and meetings. Cozy modest cottages ideal for newlyweds are tucked into the rainforest surrounded by the scent and sounds of pristine nature. Here hot tubs and fireplaces create a magical romantic mood. Tall straight Sugi (Cryptomeria japonica) trees line the old Volcano Road that passes through the village. Monterey Cypresses blend with azaleas in gardens more associated with temperate climates than the tropics. SPECIAL PLACES IN THE VOLCANO AREA VOLCANO WINERY. A winery in Hawaii? Of course! Where else would you find exotic tropical fruit blends like Passion Chablis or Volcano Red? Or Tropical Hawaiian Honey Wines! Or Symphony Grape Wines! Open every day from 10AM to 5:30PM with a tasting room.

Since the mid-1800's, this venerable institution has been sitting on the edge of Kilauea caldera. By 1877, there were improvements and the building that now houses the Volcano Art Center was built. A new and larger hotel was built in the 1890s and George Lycurgus and his nephew arrived in 1894 to manage it. He acquired it in 1932 and became its gracious host. In 1940 the hotel burned but was rebuilt as it stands today. VOLCANO ART CENTER. Inside Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, next to the main Visitor Center, and in the original Volcano House, you'll find the best juried selection of the finest art of Hawaii with the creations of over 300 Hawaiian artists ranging from furniture to jewelry. Volcano Art Center is a non-profit, tax-exempt, educational organization created in 1974 to promote, develop and perpetuate the artistic and cultural heritage of Hawaii's people and environment.

Island Flavor Lindsey Cassiday and Ralen Chang have lived in Hawaii their whole lives. It's where they met and where their relationship blossomed—so it's no surprise that their wedding was a celebration of the islands' distinctive culture. The intimate, outdoor ceremony, at the home of Lindsey's parents in Diamond Head, Oahu, was performed in both English and Hawaiian by a friend, Ka'au, who acted as kahu (priest). The aisle was strewn with yellow and white plumeria, a local flower, and as a special addition to the ceremony, the couple honored their parents by presenting them with maile-leaf and ginger leis. Barefoot and Wedded The bride and groom recited their vows facing the ocean, surrounded by their wedding party. The bridesmaids wore simple sleeveless white tops with pale-blue skirts and pikake choker leis, similar to the choker Lindsey wore. The groomsmen were dressed in Hawaiian-print shirts in gray and pale blue; they wore green maile-leaf leis like Ralen around their necks. The only thing missing? Shoes—all of them were barefoot. Hula Hunks In the clear-topped reception tent, with views of the South Pacific sky, Lindsey and Ralen took their first spin on the dance floor to "Hawaiian Rainbow," by the Ho'opi'i Brothers. "We chose that song because it's all about the islands and their flowers," says Lindsey. Her favorite moment was when the wedding coordinator surprised everyone by leading the groom and groomsmen in the hukilau , a special hula. It's a Hawaiian tradition for the bride to do a hula for her groom on the wedding night, but at this wedding, the roles were reversed. "The hula was hilarious because Ralen and his groomsmen were in matching outfits," says Lindsey. "Everyone was laughing and cheering."
