Un circuit complet de la plus jeune île hawaïenne, construit autour du Kilauea, le volcan le plus actif d'Hawaï, et autour de la déesse à qui appartiennent les éruptions. Madame Pele est celle à qui les anciens récits attribuent la création de ces îles, et les guides les racontent en même temps que la géologie. La journée commence du côté de Kona à Greenwell Farms, une ferme caféière en activité depuis 1850, date à laquelle Henry Nicholas Greenwell l'a plantée sur les pentes du Mauna Loa. Des matinées ensoleillées, des après-midi nuageux, une pluie régulière et un sol volcanique expliquent le goût du café de Kona, et la ferme se trouve au cœur de tout cela. Vient ensuite le Manuka State Wayside Park, 13 acres le long de la Hawaii Belt Road, où la forêt humide rencontre la forêt sèche et où un sentier nature de deux miles traverse des bois indigènes qui abritent la buse d'Hawaï et le drépanis. Puis la Punalu'u Bake Shop à Na'alehu, la boulangerie la plus méridionale des États-Unis, où le pain sucré hawaïen se décline au taro, à la goyave et à la mangue. Suit la plage de sable noir de Punalu'u, où les tortues vertes sont souvent présentes. Le parc lui-même occupe le cœur de la journée : d'abord le centre des visiteurs, puis le cratère Halema'uma'u, le Kilauea Iki Rainforest Lookout, le Thurston Lava Tube, et des évents de vapeur où le sol dégage sa propre chaleur. Le retour emprunte la Mauna Kea Access Road, au-dessus de la Saddle Road, et passe par la Kohala Coast et 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.
