Oceanfront Legacy Estate - Big Island Hawaii Walkthrough
I stayed at the Oceanfront Legacy Estate on the big island of Hawaii in early 2018. I highly recommend this place. Lots of space and everything is very nice.
Hotel Room Tour: The Hilo Hawaiian
The Hilo Hawaiian is located in Hilo town. Don't expect a 5 star hotel. The rooms are clean and the bed is comfortable. Which is what matters. This is the better of the hotels in Hilo.

Painted Trees Hawaii - Haku, My Hawaiian Guide
Over the course of the past several months, photographer Kelly Dunn has returned time and again to the Big Island of Hawaii, camera in hand, preserving in time the unique painted trees of Hawaii. The eucalyptus trees, particular to the Aloha State, reveal a stunning palette, as they naturally shed their bark. No two trees share the same vibrant color pattern, and a stand of these island eucalyptus create a living rainbow.
While the iconic images will live forever, thanks to the creative eye of Mr. Dunn, a surprisingly deep appreciation of the beauty he witnessed transpired, calling upon Kelly to preserve the very trees themselves. Moved into action, Kelly has joined the promotion of the Painted Trees of Hawaii Foundation.
In the past few decades, a good many of the trees have been cut down. For a variety of reason, property development among them, the ever-decreasing population of the painted trees has raised some concern. Mr Dunn felt something needed to be done to increase awareness and preserve these beautiful symbols of mother nature’s grandeur, or risk losing them altogether. Enter the foundation.
An Eye and A Heart for Natural Beauty
The Painted Trees of Hawaii Foundation was started as an effort to promote recognition and an appreciation of these natural beauties. Kelly Dunn plans a lecture tour, as well as a series of gallery shows of his collection of images, and many fundraisers. As the self-appointed steward of the painted trees of Hawaii, Kelly is leading the charge to increase the population of Painted Eucalyptus by setting aside an acre of his island property for the sole purpose of propagation of the species.
Kelly’s personal property is located in the ideal environment for these seedlings to thrive. At the southern tip of the Hawaiian Islands, Kelly’s property will serve as a forest one day, as well as a nursery for tree seedlings which will be donated to landowners on the Big Island. Confident in the growing conditions and location of his property, Kelly Dunn is hopeful that other landowners will be encouraged to do likewise, and preserve the painted trees of Hawaii.
Our Shared Responsibility
For those who have experienced first-hand the natural beauty of the pink-sand beaches, hiked to Diamond Head, or simply sat in the stillness Pikake-scented breezes enchant, Hawaii is a part of your soul. These treasures, as well as the painted trees of Hawaii, are deeply rooted in the heritage of the islands. Like Kelly, you probably feel a sense of duty to preserve these treasures for millennia.
For those who've yet to visit the Aloha state firsthand, you realize the intrinsic connection the painted trees of Hawaii have to every living thing. We are all stewards, called upon to safeguard the natural mosaic of our world, so that generations from now, our descendants will look back and say “well done”, as they, too, experience the beauty and wonder of nature at her finest.
For, as noted conservationist, and founder of the Sierra Club once stated,
“When one tugs at a single thing in nature, he finds it attached to the rest of the world.”
What Can You Do?
In order that future generations may come to admire-and cherish-the impressive natural beauty of Hawaii’s painted eucalyptus, Kelly Dunn is encouraging others to get involved. The need to “get the word out” is great. Through education and continued proliferation of the seedlings, saving the painted trees of Hawaii is possible.
For those who are interested in becoming involved, contact Kelly at PaintedTreesHawaii.org (877) 888-6111. If you would like to make a donation and plant a seedling in your name, there are details on the website. No act is too small, and your generosity will come back to you for generations to come. As Kelly Dunn reminds us, “The seeds we plant today will provide shade and beauty for many future generations.”.

Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park, Hawaii County, Hawaii, United States, North America
Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, established in 1916, is a United States National Park located in the U.S. State of Hawaiʻi on the island of Hawaiʻi. It encompasses two active volcanoes: Kīlauea, one of the world's most active volcanoes, and Mauna Loa, the world's most massive volcano. The park gives scientists insight into the birth of the Hawaiian Islands and ongoing studies into the processes of vulcanism. For visitors, the park offers dramatic volcanic landscapes as well as glimpses of rare flora and fauna. In recognition of its outstanding natural values, Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park was designated as an International Biosphere Reserve in 1980 and a World Heritage Site in 1987. In 2000 the name was changed by the Hawaiian National Park Language Correction Act of 2000 observing the Hawaiian spelling. In 2012 the Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park was honored on the 14th quarter of the America the Beautiful Quarters collection. The park includes 323,431 acres (505.36 sq mi; 1,308.88 km2) of land. Over half of the park is designated the Hawaii Volcanoes Wilderness area and provides unusual hiking and camping opportunities. The park encompasses diverse environments that range from sea level to the summit of the Earth's most massive volcano, Mauna Loa at 13,677 feet (4,169 m). Climates range from lush tropical rain forests, to the arid and barren Kaʻū Desert. Active eruptive sites include the main caldera of Kīlauea and a more active but remote vent called Puʻu ʻŌʻō. The main entrance to the park is from the Hawaii Belt Road. The Chain of Craters Road, as the name implies, leads past several craters from historic eruptions to the coast. It used to continue to another entrance to the park near the town of Kalapana, but that portion is now covered by a lava flow. Kīlauea and its Halemaʻumaʻu caldera were traditionally considered the sacred home of the volcano goddess Pele, and Hawaiians visited the crater to offer gifts to the goddess. In 1790, a party of warriors (along with women and children who were in the area) were caught in an unusually violent eruption. Many were killed and others left footprints in the lava that can still be seen today. The first western visitors to the site, English missionary William Ellis and American Asa Thurston, went to Kīlauea in 1823. Ellis wrote of his reaction to the first sight of the erupting volcano: a spectacle, sublime and even appalling, presented itself before us. 'We stopped and trembled.' Astonishment and awe for some moments rendered us mute, and, like statues, we stood fixed to the spot, with our eyes riveted on the abyss below. The volcano became a tourist attraction in the 1840s, and local businessmen such as Benjamin Pitman and George Lycurgus ran a series of hotels at the rim. Volcano House is the only hotel or restaurant located within the borders of the National Park. In January 2010 it was closed temporarily for renovation; as of January 2011 it had not yet re-opened. Lorrin A. Thurston, grandson of the American missionary Asa Thurston, was one of the driving forces behind the establishment of the park after investing in the hotel from 1891 to 1904. William R. Castle first proposed the idea in 1903. Thurston, who then owned the Honolulu Advertiser newspaper, printed editorials in favor of the park idea. In 1907, the territory of Hawaii paid for fifty members of Congress and their wives to visit Haleakala and Kīlauea. It included a dinner cooked over lava steam vents. In 1908 Thurston entertained Secretary of the Interior James Rudolph Garfield, and in 1909 another congressional delegation. Governor Walter F. Frear proposed a draft bill in 1911 to create Kilauea National Park for $50,000. Thurston and local landowner William Herbert Shipman proposed boundaries, but ran into some opposition from ranchers. Thurston printed endorsements from John Muir, Henry Cabot Lodge, and former President Theodore Roosevelt. After several attempts, the legislation introduced by delegate Jonah Kūhiō Kalaniana'ole finally passed to create the park. House Resolution 9525 was signed by Woodrow Wilson on August 1, 1916. It was the 11th National Park in the United States, and the first in a Territory. Within a few weeks, the National Park Service Organic Act would create the National Park Service to run the system. Originally called Hawaii National Park, it was split from the Haleakalā National Park on September 22, 1960. An easily accessible lava tube was named for the Thurston family. An undeveloped stretch of the Thurston Lava Tube extends an additional 1,100 ft (340 m) beyond the developed area and dead-ends into the hillside. Though it is blocked by a chain link fence to keep unwary visitors from entering, the easily traversed stretch is in fact open to the public and accessible through a gate in the fence.

7 HIDDEN HAWAIIAN WATERFALL IN HILO
7 HIDDEN HAWAIIAN WATERFALL IN HILO. On Hawai'i Island (aka the Big Island), the beaches aren’t the only spectacular spots for water views. Throughout the island, cascading waterfalls leap off cliffs and tumble down canyon walls. All you have to do is pack the car with sunscreen, water, towels and an island-style lunch to go.
Wailele, the Hawaiian word for waterfall, stems from wai, the word for fresh water. Saltwater is kai. Some of Hawaii Island's most breathtaking and accessible waterfalls lie along the northeastern coast, the greenest and most fertile part of the island with lush tropical rainforests and botanical gardens.
To see some of the top spots on the Big Island, start in Hilo at Wailuku River State Park, home to 80-ft Waianuenue, also known as Rainbow Falls. Its Hawaiian name means 'rainbow water,' and if you visit on a sunny morning, you’ll see why. Legend says that the cave beneath the falls was home to Hina, mother of Maui, the demigod credited with creating the Hawaiian Islands.
The Wailuku River also feeds smaller, multi-spouted Pe'epe’e Falls. The runoff from both waterfalls lead to the bubbling pools called Boiling Pots, a succession of pools where the water rolls and bubbles as if boiling. The pools are visible from the parking area, but if you hike down the trail to the water's edge, you can experience their exciting turbulence up close. From Hilo, head north along the Hamakua Heritage Corridor on the way to the Waipi'o Valley Lookout. Take a break at 'Akaka Falls State Park, and hike along a short (0.04 miles) footpath lined with torch ginger, bird of paradise and ti plants to what is perhaps Hawaii Island’s most famous waterfall. Cascading 'Akaka Falls plummets 442 ft into the emerald-lined gorge. Farther up the trail is 100-foot Kahuna Falls, a smaller waterfall somewhat obscured by the rainforest.
If your goal is to visit 'Akaka Falls State Park before the tour bus crowds, get there in the earlier part of the morning. When the hordes arrive, you can depart and drive north to the World Botanical Gardens. Aside from the more than 5000 species of Hawaiian and tropical flora on display, there’s also an overlook that reveals Kamae'e Falls as it plunges off a cliff to the clear pool below.

Number 10: Kaimuki House of Horrors.
This is one of the most famous spooky places in Hawaii because, according to all accounts – it’s the most haunted one. It’s located in a residential part of Honolulu, called Kaimuki, right on the corner of 8th and Harding. Judging by its appearance, the house looks completely normal. Nothing strange or spooky. But there’s more to it than that.
There is a legend that an evil ghost lives in the house, and that it’s a Kasha – a Japanese ghost, destined to feed of the blood and corpses. Throughout the years, many people came to this house, either to live in it permanently or rent it for vacation, but they were all – terrified. There were strange noises, screams, but even worse things than that. In 1942, police were called to the house, where a woman was screaming “she’s trying to take my children”. And the policemen saw the children being thrown around by some invisible presence. And this is just one of the instances when supernatural forces were at work in the Kaimuki house. No one’s sure what the cause of it all is, but many people speculate that it all started when a man killed his wife and two children in the house; his wife and son were found buried in the backyard, but the daughter was lost forever…
Number 9: Kamehameha's Bones.
Kamehameha is one of the most important and most celebrated rulers of Hawaii. He is also known as Kamehameha the Great, because he unified the separated islands of Hawaii into a single state. Kamehameha died in 1819, but his exact burial place is still kept secret.
The ancient Hawaiians had a developed system of burial rituals, but they were not the same for all people. The funeral rites that were used for higher-ups, such as chiefs, were much more complex, and they had an additional aura of solemnity to them. After the funeral rites, Kamehameha’s bones were hidden, never to be found. But this was not done simply to prevent anyone from finding the late ruler’s bones – it was also a part of a bigger custom, called “hunakele”. The word “hunakele” can be translated as “hiding in secret”, and the idea behind it was to prevent an enemy of getting the deceased bones, thus absorbing his power, called “mana”. It is still not known where Kamehameha’s bones are, but many believe that they are buried in a sacred cave on the Big Island.
Number 8: Old Pali Road.
This is one of those places full of supernatural stories and haunted legends. Nowadays, the road gave way to a modern highway, but the legends and spooky stories are still here.
Throughout the years, there have been many sightings of supernatural beings, and many strange accidents occurred. Many of those accidents are still unexplained. There were people who have seen a strange-looking being, resembling a ghost, that was crossing the road and surprising the coming drivers. Another very interesting fact is that, near this road, there is a place called Nu'uanu Pali Lookout, which is one of the most important locations in Hawaiian history. Nu'uanu Pali is where King Kamehameha fought a major battle during the struggle for Hawaiian Unification. On this location, there is also a ghostly creature roaming about at night, haunting everyone who comes near it…
Number 7: The Haunted Iolani Palace.
This is one of the most haunted places on the island of Oahu, as many people have claimed all kinds of supernatural occurrences there. These things have become so common that nobody seems to notice them anymore. The Iolani Palace is the home of the Hawaiian monarchy, and thousands of people come to visit it every year. It is located in downtown Honolulu, and to this day – there are all kinds of spooky stories going on there. Everyone, from palace guards to tourist guides and tourist have claimed that very strange things are happening inside Iolani Palace. For example, there is a piano in the palace that’s always kept locked in a glass case. However, although the security guards do not have the key to the glass case, they can often hear the piano being played at night. It’s never a melody, or a chord, but a random sequence of notes, one after the other, in no particular order. When they tried to capture this on security cameras, they were amazed: the piano keys were not moving, but the music kept being played. And this is just one of those supernatural things Iolani is famous for…

Hawaii Volcanoes National Park - Full Tour (2018)
Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park, established on August 1, 1916, is an American national park located in the U.S. state of Hawaii on the island of Hawaii. The park encompasses two active volcanoes: Kīlauea, one of the world's most active volcanoes, and Mauna Loa, the world's most massive shield volcano. The park provides scientists with insight into the birth and development of the Hawaiian Islands, and ongoing studies into the processes of volcanism. For visitors, the park offers dramatic volcanic landscapes, as well as glimpses of rare flora and fauna.
In recognition of its outstanding natural values, Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park was designated as an International Biosphere Reserve in 1980 and a World Heritage Site in 1987. In 2012, Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park was depicted on the 14th quarter of the America the Beautiful Quarters series.
On May 10, 2018 the park was closed to the public in the Kīlauea volcano summit area, including the visitor center and park headquarters, due to explosions and toxic ash clouds from Halemaʻumaʻu crater, as well as earthquakes and road damage. However, portions of the park, including the visitor center, reopened to the public on September 22, 2018.
Eruptive activity, ground collapses and explosions in the park ceased in early August. As of late September, the lull in eruptive activity at Kīlauea Volcano continues. At the summit, seismicity and deformation are negligible. Sulfur dioxide emission rates at both the summit and the Lower East Rift Zone are drastically reduced; the combined rate is lower than at any time since late 2007. Earthquake and deformation data show no net accumulation, withdrawal, or significant movement of subsurface magma or pressurization as would be expected if the system was building toward a resumption of activity.
Kiholo Bay - Big Island Hawaii
For all the information about this hike, visit our blog:
Kiholo Bay is an off the beaten path hike that will take you to the famous Queens Bath, turquoise water, tide pools, black sand beach, and basking Green Sea Turtles. This area is also full of history and Hawaiian heritage. There are two different routes to the bay. The main one starts at the Kiholo Bay State Park Reserve trailhead. The alternate one starts near mile mark 81, on the side of Highway 18. In this blog, we mainly focus on the main route there.
