SITE SEEING ON THE BIG ISLAND OF HAWAII - Fun Ideas

Site seeing opportunities on Hawaii

Hawaii Tropical Botanical Garden – cascading waterfalls and ocean visits offers fun for the entire family. There are over 2500 species of flowers, plants and fruits. If you have not been here I highly recommend a trip around the back side of the island. Amazing growth and size of the plants will surprise you.

Best Snorkeling on Hawaii Island is Kealakekua Bay and the adjacent Captain Cook Monument. There are two ways to get to the monument. Traveling by Kayak is ecofriendly or a relaxing ride on a charter boat. New regulations by Hawaii State has made visiting the Captain Cook Monument better by limiting the number of visitors at the snorkeling area. Human Impact to the bay has created the government to step in and take precautionary action to protect the bay.

Kona Coffee Farms - Visiting the local farms is a fun tour and a good way to see the process of what it takes to produce a pound of Kona Coffee.  I can recommend Heavenly Hawaiian 100% Kona Coffee as a great tour.  Meet Trudy and Dave Bateman and they can give you al the ins and outs of the Kona Coffee Business.

These are just a sample of some the siteseeing tours that you can take while Vacationing in the Big Island of Hawaii.  Keep posted and I will be posting several more options.  Happy Travels.

When you arrive at the #Airport in the #Islands - first thing to do when picking up the rental car is to pick up all the local magazines with the specials and site seeing offers.  You will notice that they offer plenty of  (2 for 1) deals and that is the best way to make your #Vacation Affordable and stretch your #Vacation dollars.

Getting Around Hawaii - By Car, By Plane or Ship.

Getting around Hawaii is really easy once you arrive in the islands. Allow 5 - 6 hours for departures from the West Coast.;   You need to know the airport Codes for the Hawaiian major airports:

HNL - Honolulu, Oahu 
LIH -  Lihue Airport, Kauai

OGG - Kahului Airport, Maui

JHM - Kapalua-West Maui Airport , Maui:

MKK -Molokai Airport, Molokai:

LNY - Lanai Airport, Lanai:
ITO -  Hilo International Airport, Hawaii’s Big Island:
KOA - Kona International Airport ,Hawaii’s Big Island:

Upon Arrival in the Hawaiian Island the Rental Car Companies are located near the entrances to the major airports.  A rental car is a must on the outer islands.  There are so many things to see and do.  We know that you love to explore and that is one of the reasons that you need a rent a car.  So many treasures are located off the beaten path.  Most hotels have a parking facilities or parking garage.  Don't be shocked to see parking fees.  Make sure to check out the extra driver fees and insurance requirements.  Be sure that you have a credit card in your name when renting a vehicle. 

Flying between islands is made quite easy. You will find out that there a many flights scheduled but they will be routed through Honolulu.  Maui has two different airports and depending on the location of your stay will determine which airport you will choose.

 I like to warn clients that some of the islands offer ferry trips between islands.   Cruise ships depart during the week and will make a daily trip to separate island for a brief stop over.   Some people like to only pack once but want the experience of seeing the individual characteristics of each island.  Cruise lines will allow for this experience.  There are many cruise lines that will cruise the Hawaiian Islands.

No matter how you choose to get around the islands, just enjoy family exploration on your vacation and see as much as you can.  There is so much to explore that we don't want you to miss anything. 

Building memories is half of the fun of a family vacation.  Take pictues and take some of your memories home with you.  Happy Travels.
