1. Visit the Volcano

Visit the famous Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park! 

In this National Park, there are many areas that are free to access, some routes which are closer to the crater require visitors to be guided by an advisor assigned by the Park. It was a great experience seeing steam from the vents and the formation of fresh lava!

Here on the Big Island, there are sooooo many tours that you can join. Remember to book in advance, especially if you plan to visit in the high seasons – between June to August & December to January.

Swimming with Dolphins is definitely a special and enjoyable experience. The water in Kona, Hawaii is clean, the people are highly educated with the sense of environmental protection. They  maintain a suitable sea environment and enforce minimal disturbance to the wild animals while enhancing the experience for visitors as much as possible.
