The Big Island 1 HAWAII, THE BIG ISLAND 1 he Big Island, the largest in the Hawaiian archipelago, has it all: fiery volcanoes, Tsparkling waterfalls, black-lava deserts, snowcapped mountains, tropical rainforests, alpine meadows, a glacial lake, and miles of golden, black, and even green-sand beaches. It attracts visitors to its unmatched diversity of terrain and climate, not to men- tion its mystery. Inland is snow-capped Mauna Kea, the world’s tallest sea mountain, and the vast Volcanoes National Park. Its world-class golf courses are some of the best in the country. BEACHES For the island’s best swimming, snorkel- 1 ing, and bodysurfing head to Hapuna Beach, a ⁄2-mile crescent of gold sand. Families flock to Kahaluu Beach, on the Kona Coast, where brilliantly colored tropical fish convene in the reef. Green Sands Beach is a spectacle to behold—tiny olivine pieces in the sand give the beach its shimmering green shade. THINGS TO DO Be sure to visit Puuhonua O Honaunau National Historical Park, a sacred site that was once a refuge for ancient Hawaiian warriors. Or discover the Puako Petroglyph Archaeological District, home to more than 3,000 petryoglyphs. A jacket, beach mat, and binoculars are all you need to see every star and planet from Mauna Kea. EATING & DRINKING Good soil, creative chefs, and rich cultural tradition combine to make the Big IslandCOPYRIGHTED a culinary destination. High-end restaurants MATERIAL are concentrated in the Kohala Coast, while those for all budgets can be found in Kailua-Kona. Most of the island’s delicacies—including laulau, kalua pork, lomi salmon, squid luau, and kulolo—can be 04__9781118028827-ch01.indd9781118028827-ch01.indd 1 99/12/11/12/11 111:571:57 AM 1 The Big Island 1 HawiHawi KapaauKapaau 0 10 mi 24 270 PA C I F I C O C E A N NORTHNORTH 23 HA 0 10 km 2 MAKU KKOHALAOHALA A A WaipioWaipio k K o O BayBay C n H O i K A A P o L Introduction u A h IO 22 l M Y 270 e a T IP l E H a 250 N A L S L w M .

Arriving HAWAII, THE BIG ISLAND HAWAII, The Big Island has two major airports for jet traffic between the islands, in Kona and Hilo. The Kona International Airport receives direct overseas flights from Japan on Japan Airlines (& 800/525-3663; www. jal.co.jp/en) and from Vancouver on Air Canada (& 888/247- 2262; www.aircanada.com).

The Hilo International Airport used to have a direct flight from Oakland via ATA, but with the demise of that airline, it is now served only by interisland carriers. If you cannot get a direct flight to the Big Island, you’ll have to pick up an interisland flight in Honolulu. Hawaiian Airlines (& 800/ 367-5320; www.hawaiianair.com) and go!

    COUNTY OF HAWAII MASS TRANSIT AGENCY BUS STOP LOCATION STUDY INVENTORY AND INITIAL SCREENING REPORT Prepared by: SSFM International, Inc. 501 Sumner Street, Suite 620 Honolulu, HI 96817 Prepared for: County of Hawaii Mass Transit Agency 630 E. Lanikaula Street Hilo, HI 96720 June 2010 Bus Stop Location Project for County of Hawaii Mass Transit Agency Inventory and Initial Screening Report Introduction County of Hawaii Mass Transit Agency Bus Stop Location Project Inventory and Initial Screening Report I. Introduction The County of Hawaii Mass Transit Agency (MTA) currently operates on a flagstop basis. With increased usage and traffic, MTA is moving into a designated bus stop program. SSFM International, Inc. (SSFM) was contracted to identify locations for bus stops islandwide and to determine if locations warrant an official bus stop listed in the Hawaii County Code. Official bus stops will need to be Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliant. This Inventory and Initial Screening Report constitutes the deliverable for Task One of the work program for this study. Based on field work conducted and meetings held with bus drivers, SSFM developed a complete inventory of bus stops islandwide. The inventory, consisting of approximately 575 stops, was then divided into priority and non-priority stops for the remainder of the work tasks in this study. Priority stops, totaling approximately 100 stops, were recommended based on surrounding land use, frequency, and local knowledge. The list of priority stops is shown in (Appendix 1). These stops handle the bulk of the ridership and are in close vicinity to schools, resorts, medical facilities, and urban centers.

  • Cruise Planners
    David Armstrong [email protected] www.cruiseplannerslv.com 702-823-5763 HONOLULU, HI OVERVIEW Introduction Visitors to Honolulu may hear that, because it's Hawaii's largest city, it is less "Hawaiian" than the rest of the state. The high-rise office buildings and busy traffic of Honolulu don't match people's romantic ideal of what Hawaii should be—remote, palm-fringed beaches and lavish resorts. In truth, Honolulu is probably the most Hawaiian part of the state, because it best reflects the reality of today's Hawaii. Honolulu contains a multicultural mix of people, a beautiful landscape of greenery and ocean, and a place where amazing events have unfolded—many of them recounted in the city's historic sites and museums. All that's exciting about big-city life—theater, opera, museums, shopping, nightclubs, fine dining—is set against Honolulu's backdrop of majestic mountains, lush rain forests and sweeping vistas. With Waikiki along one edge of the city, travelers to Honolulu even have a beach resort. Waikiki remains Hawaii's busiest tourist spot and makes a good departure point for exploring recreational possibilities in Honolulu and the rest of Oahu. Active travelers can ramble through a rainforest and discover ancient religious shrines, swim with the green sea turtles off Waikiki Beach and surf past Diamond Head. Other activities include hiking a coastline trail, watching for humpback whales, visiting World War II memorials or playing a round of golf at a variety of public and resort golf courses. Visitors to Honolulu can choose from the best of both worlds—the city's bustle and the beauty of nature.
