Hawaii Island

There are three major towns in this surreal landscape of a volcanic paradise namely Hilo, Waimea and Kailua Kona each with its distinct attractions and scenery. Among its many products are Orchids, Kona coffee and macadamia nuts.

Among Hawaii’s many Islands, Hawaii, the big island is the most extreme. It is possible to swim and tan in one of its famous beaches while viewing a snow capped peak of Mauna Kea. Where else in the world?

A favourite destination in the island is Parker Ranch and stands out as the Hawaii Islands largest private cattle ranch. It features its very own Hawaiian Cowboys. It was said that Parker had befriended King Kamehameha, married a princess and built Hawaii’s cattle industry.

Another must see is the Volcano National Park. It was declared a national park in 1916 and consists of the summits of Kilauea and Mauna Loa. With Hawaiian volcanoes more gentle than usual. Visitors can actual view lava mud and rocks seeping from the peaks traversing crevasses all the way to the beaches along the Pacific.

Hawaii IslandHawaii is the home of the world’s most active volcanoes and the world’s tallest sea mountain. The Birthplace of surfing and the hula. The Former seat of a royal kingdom. Hawaii Island is one of the youngest geological formations in the world and the youngest state of the union. But perhaps Hawaii’s most unique feature is its Aloha Spirit: the warmth of the people of Hawaii that wonderfully complements the Islands’ perfect temperatures.

There are other attractions in the island such as the beautiful beaches, farmers market, museums, factories aside from the many luxurious hotels and commercial centers. But when in Hawaii, one normally just takes in the scenery as he or she is hardly exposed to volcanoes and its effects on an island.
