Eine komplette Rundfahrt um die jüngste hawaiianische Insel, die um den Kilauea, den aktivsten Vulkan Hawaiis, und um die Göttin, der die Vulkanausbrüche zugeordnet werden, erbaut wurde. Madame Pele ist die, der die alten Berichte die Erschaffung dieser Inseln zuschreiben, und die Reiseleiter erzählen das zusammen mit den geologischen Informationen. Der Tag beginnt auf der Kona-Seite bei Greenwell Farms, einem Kaffeeanbau, der seit 1850 besteht, als Henry Nicholas Greenwell ihn an den Hängen des Mauna Loa anpflanzte. Sonstige Morgen, bewölkte Nachmittage, stetiger Regen und vulkanischer Boden sind die Gründe, warum Kona-Kaffee so schmeckt, und die Farm liegt mitten in dieser Umgebung. Als nächstes kommt der Manuka State Wayside Park, ein 13 Hektar großes Gebiet entlang der Hawaii Belt Road, wo feuchter und trockener Wald aufeinandertreffen und ein zweieinhalb Kilometer langer Naturpfad durch einheimische Wälder führt, in denen der hawaiianische Greifvogel und der Honigfresser vorkommen. Dann folgt die Punalu'u Bake Shop in Na'alehu, die südlichste Bäckerei in den Vereinigten Staaten, wo das hawaiianische Süßbrot in den Geschmacksrichtungen Taro, Guave und Mango erhältlich ist. Danach kommt der Punalu'u Black Sand Beach, und oft sind dort Meeresschildkröten zu sehen. Der Park selbst bildet den Mittelpunkt des Tages: zuerst das Besucherzentrum, dann der Halema'uma'u-Krater, der Kilauea Iki Rainforest Lookout, die Thurston Lava Tube und Dampfschächte, wo der Boden seine eigene Wärme abgibt. Die Rückfahrt führt über die Mauna Kea Access Road, abseits der Saddle Road, und passiert die Kohala Coast und Hilo.

  1. Greenwell Farms

    Greenwell Farms is one of the oldest coffee farms in Hawaii, established in 1850 by Henry Nicholas Greenwell, and its history runs alongside the development of Kona coffee itself. It stands in the Kona district, on the slopes of Mauna Loa. The combination that makes this ground work for coffee is specific: volcanic soil, sunny mornings, cloud cover in the afternoon, and rain that arrives reliably.

  2. Manuka State Wayside Park

    Manuka State Wayside Park covers 13 acres along the Hawaii Belt Road, Highway 11, on the slopes of Mauna Loa. Wet and dry forest ecosystems meet inside it, which is unusual in so small an area. The two-mile Manuka Nature Trail goes through native forest, past volcanic features, with interpretive signs on the geology and the ecology. The park is little visited, and it holds native Hawaiian plants along with endemic birds, the Hawaiian hawk and the honeycreeper among them. There are picnic areas along the way.

  3. Punalu'u Bake Shop

    Punaluʻu Bake Shop, at Naʻālehu, is the southernmost bakery in the United States. It opened in 1991 and is known for its Hawaiian sweet bread, made in taro, guava and mango. There is a range of other baked goods, a gift shop and a garden, and the bakery works to a sustainability standard.

  4. Punalu'u Black Sand Beach

    A black sand beach, with a chance of seeing the native Hawaiian green sea turtle.

  5. Hawaii Volcanoes National Park

    The park begins at the visitor center, with the geology and the history, before anything gets walked. Halemaʻumaʻu Crater is where the molten lava glows, and it is the clearest evidence on the island that this is still going on. The Kīlauea Iki Rainforest Lookout sits above a massive crater with rainforest around it, and a trail runs through what a past eruption left behind. The Thurston Lava Tube is a natural tunnel that flowing lava built for itself. At the steam vents the heat comes up out of the ground, which settles any doubt about what is underneath.

  6. Mauna Kea Access Road is a steep

    The Mauna Kea Access Road is steep and winding, and it climbs to the summit of Mauna Kea, the tallest volcano in Hawaii and the highest point in the state. It leaves from the Saddle Road, Route 200, and passes through several climates on the way up: grassy plain first, then bare volcanic ground. The air thins and the temperature drops as it goes.

  7. Kohala Coast

    The Kohala Coast has the beaches and the resorts, and a drier climate than the rest of the island, which is why the outdoor activities concentrate here. Mauna Kea is close by.

  8. Hilo

    Hilo carries a good deal of the island's history. The Lyman Museum covers the natural and cultural side of Hawaii, and the Hilo Historic District has its early twentieth-century buildings still standing. The Pacific Tsunami Museum is about what the ocean has done to this coast, which in Hilo is not an abstract subject. Liliuokalani Gardens are named for Hawaii's last reigning monarch, Queen Liliuokalani. The Hilo Farmers Market is not historic, but it is where the place shows what it grows.
