We’ll submerge over 100 feet deep into Kona’s gleaming waters in one of the most technologically advanced passenger submarines in the world! While aboard, we’ll be able to watch the fascinating ocean life in action through the large view-port holes. We can’t wait to see over 25 acres of coral reef gardens inhabited by many species of tropical fish and other amazing sea life.

We have the chance to witness the results of the various volcanic eruptions in Hilo; including the repeated eruptions of Kilauea, Ahalanui warm springs which are volcanically heated to 90-degrees, and the spectacular scenery at MacKenzie State Park. We can’t wait to see the magnificent tree molds created by lava wrapping around the tree, cooling off, and then draining away leaving the mold located in Lava Tree State Park in Puna. Our love will be “frozen in time” as we walk across the “frozen earth” created by the lava flows while seeing an active volcano vent in the distance.

What a splendid way to unwind and view the untouched interior of Kauai. We’ll take a brief ride to the Hanamaulu Ditch system, a part of the old Lihue Plantation, to start our tubing escapade. Once in the water, we’ll float down the tropical waterway consisting of open ditches, tunnels and flumes which were hand dug in 1912. After we are finished tubing, we’ll be able to enjoy a snack at a charming picnic area complete with a swimming hole.

We’ll pass by many of the well-known orchid and anthodium farms from Hilo on our way to Crater Rim Drive as our guide explains the mysteries of the famed Madame Pele, the Hawaiian Goddess of Fire. Next, we’ll travel to the Thurston Lava Tube and then head out to the Hawaii Volcano Observatory and the Jagger Museum. We can’t wait to meander through the remarkable exhibits of the destruction caused over the years by volcanoes. We’ll have time to browse through the many remnants that erupting volcanoes have left in their path. After our stroll through the museum, we’ll sure work up an appetite and have a chance to nibble on free samples at the Mauna Loa Macadamia Nut Factory Store while we observe how the nuts are processed.
