The Volcanoes

You can not visit HawaiÊ»i without seeing at least one volcano. We suggest that you visit the HawaiÊ»i Volcanos National Park. This is a massive park is a must-see for any visitor. Some of the top sites in the park include the Chain of Craters Road, natural steam vents and the new Halemau’mau Crater.

The Valleys

Picturesque valleys form part of Big Island Hawaiʻi. These valleys in some places look out over 500 ft. cliffs, black sand beaches and crashing surf. Two of the most famous valleys is the Waipio Valley Outlook and Polulu Valley Lookout.

The Waterfalls

Where there are valleys with over 500 ft. cliffs you are sure to see waterfalls. The Rainbow Falls made our list of things to see on the Big Island. It didn’t just make our list; it made a list in every blog and guidebook. At Rainbow Falls, you can witness some of the most famous Big Island waterfalls up close and personal.

The Beaches

The Black Sand Beach at Punalu’u is not unique but beautiful as well. It is a place where you can watch the blue waves break on the black sand beach. This stretch of black sand is a popular basking spot for the HawaiÊ»ian turtle also knows as “hono”. The HawaiÊ»ian beaches deserve its spot on our things to see on the Big Island list.
