Introduction to one-day tour of the Big Island of Hawaii

Hawaii has always been a popular tourist destination, especially many people like to hold weddings here because of its beautiful scenery, sea and sky, and full of romance. What should we do on the big island of Hawaii? This information about a day trip to the Big Island of Hawaii is shared with you.

First stop

Richardson Ocean Park-Black Beach-RichardsonOcean Park

Address: 2355 Hilo Kalaniaole Street, HI, Postal Code: 96720

The black sand beach at Richardson Marine Park, not far from Hilo Airport. On Oahu, it’s been a week of blue sea and blue sky. After experiencing the white beach, I was very happy to see the black beach this time!

The island’s Big Black Beach is black because of the crystallization of volcanic rocks. The beach is relatively small. Although the water is clear, it is more suitable for snorkeling because of the many volcanic rocks. We arrived at the park before a heavy rain on the last day and were lucky enough to see a turtle. To get in, the turtle was hidden in the water. Luckily, I saw a few of them. However, it was a pity because the weather was not very good when I went. If it’s a sunny day, maybe I can see turtles sunbathing on the beach!

Second stop

Rainbow Falls-Rainbow Falls

Address: HI96720 Hilo

If you are lucky, you can see a rainbow ! Since it often rains on the Big Island, you can see the rainbow formed by the refraction of water mist from the waterfall after the rain. Although not as majestic as China's waterfalls, the area around Rainbow Falls is lush and covered with tall vegetation, and there is no dry season.

It is recommended to go by yourself, no tickets are required here. But remember to wear non-slip sneakers or hiking shoes, the road is still quite slippery, especially after rain!

Third stop

Mauna Loa Macadamia NutVisitor Center

Address: No. 16-701, Macadamia Road, Hilo, HI96720

You can taste various Hawaiian fruits, which are much more delicious than those in ABC store. We recommend their own ice cream with Hawaiian fruit. At the same time, the factory can be seen from outside the glass and the entire manufacturing process can be seen.

Fourth stop

Hawaii Volcanoes National Park

The Volcano Park on the Big Island should be the most famous attraction. It's a pity that I didn't stay longer this time. Hawaii Volcanoes National Park offers several trails for travelers to choose from, all the way to the crater. Kilauea volcano erupted in 2014. As an active volcano, the unique resources of the Big Island are a place that countless tourists yearn for.

VolcanoHouse

Address: No. 1 Crater Rim Avenue, Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, HI96718

From the hotel’s own observation deck, you can clearly see the entire crater. It's nice to walk along it. There is also a video recording the volcanic eruption inside the hotel, and various souvenirs are also sold.

If you have the opportunity to take a break here, you might as well order a cup of coffee and look out the window leisurely.

SteamVents (steam vents)

Address: No. 1, CraterRimDrive, Phoa, HI96778

Go to the steam vents to feel the mist-shrouded heat, just like a sauna. You can also see a lot of coins at the steam vent. It is said that this is because Asians like to make wishes and keep this tradition wherever they go.

Klauea Visitor Center (Kilaea Volcano)

Address: 1 Crater Rim Drive, HI96785

There is a special video about the journey and history of the volcano , is a good documentary that allows you to better understand her cultural background and historical process. After watching the documentary, there was a small exhibition hall next to it, which displayed various representative local animals and birds.

Hawaii's ecosystems and natural environment are an unparalleled wealth.

Various information and maps about hiking to see the volcanic lava on the Big Island of Hawaii can also be found at this visitor center.

The fifth stop

Orchid Garden-Akatsuka Orchid Gardens

A very representative orchid, but it is too small.

Sixth stop

HiloHawaiianHotel

Address: 71Banyan Dr, Hilo, HI96720

I like this airport hotel very much. Not only did I get a Hilo plastic bottle when I checked in, but there are also many beach/park/restaurant options around, which is very convenient! The hotel is very green outside, so you can take a walk after dinner.

It is also close to downtown Hilo. Uber used to see the old houses and coastline of the Big Island.

On the same day, a cruise ship stopped. Walk along the sky tree next to the hotel to the bay and take a walk after dinner.

Seventh stop

MaunaKea

The last stop of the big island day trip, stargazing! Growing up in the city, I really fantasized about a sky full of stars.

Hawaii’s geographical location is really unique. It is close to the equator, so you can see a wide range of the sky, so many astronomical observatories have been set up here. At night, when you walk all the way through the clouds and see the stars in the sky, everything is worth it.

The above are just some suggestions. When traveling to Hawaii, you must experience the island scenery and truly relax!
