Walk Hand & Hand Through Pure Magic:
I NEVER thought I would enjoy traveling the country as much as I did in Northern Hawaii. We were able to really take in the picturesque region as we explored the diverse area…taking our time and appreciating the little wonders. We started our journey along the Kohala Coast where large white sand beaches laid nestled amongst ancient lava rock fields, and ended in Waimea, a historic region where real cowboys and their cattle still call home. The road less traveled never looked SO good!!

There’s No Place Like Hilo:
The East Coast of Hawaii was the most distinctive Hawaiian experience I have EVER come across! The waterfront town of Hilo offers museums, local farmers markets, galleries, and so much more. With our visits to the unique attractions of the rain forest zoo, world class astronomy center, and towering volcanos, we left the island feeling cultured and educated in everything Hawaii, while also having an incredible experience! We really feel we made the most out of our destination getaway.

An Island of Fire and Ice:
I have stood at the southern most point of the United States! How many people get to say that?! Only the ones who visit the southern region of The Big Island like we did! While we were there, we had to visit the famous Punaluu Black Sand Beach where we were able to view irresistible protected green sea turtles! We explored a macadamia orchard and the grounds of a coffee farm, and finally ended our travels at the Hawaii Volcanoes National Park where one of the world’s oldest active volcanoes exists. Being able to stand in the presence of an active volcano was not only one of the most thrilling things I have ever done in my life, but one of the most unearthly experiences! In fact, if I had to pick one word to describe my visit to South Hawaii, it was…surreal.

Sun, Surf and Kona Coffee:
I might just want to stay here forever…In the west we found the lively seaside town of Kailua-Kona, the thriving heart of the island, with shopping, restaurants and an active nightlife! Our exciting itinerary of activities practically created itself for us, which we are so thankful for! Some of our MOST enjoyable activities were deep sea fishing, snorkeling in the clear blue waters, and traveling upland to sip 100% Kona coffee. (Had to keep our energy up!) We were so excited to find an area of Hawaii where our adventurous lifestyle could be so completely satisfied without fail!!
