Thank you so much for purchasing our itinerary and entrusting us to help make your vacation the absolute best it can be. We are so excited to share our favorite spots with you. We designed this itinerary to be a grab-and-go type guide. That is, we don’t expect you to do all of these excursion days in a row. That would be exhausting. Instead, we hope that if you want to venture out and explore an area one day, our excursion days can help you do just that, without wasting precious time researching. For example, say you really want to explore north Hawai'i. Flip to our North Kohala Day and follow the guide. We’ve mapped out your day to make the most of your time, get in the best sights, and make sure you’re not backtracking all over the place. Don’t feel like doing a full-day itinerary but you want to know what is the best restaurant/beach/tour in your area? This is where our “quick hits” section comes in. In this section, you’ll find our favorite restaurants, beaches, and snorkel spots around different parts of the island. And don't miss the list of our favorite tours and excursions, in case you want to add a little more to your trip. Plus, don’t forget to watch the videos that are included with this guide.

Kohala Mountain is the oldest of Hawai’i’s five volcanoes. Kohala is also home to the Parker Ranch, one of the oldest and largest ranches in America. Pre-dating Texas ranches by 30- years. 4 3 This is Jordan’s favorite day out on 2 the Big Island as you will experience 5 the impressive Pololu Valley, quaint 1 & 6 plantation towns, and local grindz (food).

It’s all here STOP 5: PANIOLO ADVENTURES Mile 13.2, Kohala Mountain Rd, Waimea STOP 6: DINNER IN WAIMEA AT Google Maps Directions MERRIMAN’S BIG ISLAND Price: $99 per person 65-1227 Opelo Rd B, Waimea Note: not into horseback riding? We Google Maps Directions have alternatives in the In-Depth Price: entrees $33+ section Less expensive, more casual alternatives provided North Kohala Day IN-DEPTH North Kohala Day STOP 1: HAWAIIAN STYLE CAFE, WAIMEA You’re up and at em early this morning. On your way to your hike (or lookout point), you’ll want to stop in Waimea for breakfast. Hawaiian Style Cafe is a winner with both tourists and locals alike. You can enjoy favorites like french toast, pancakes, eggs, and loco moco. They are a cash-only restaurant, so be sure to plan ahead! Stop 1 Alternative: Waimea Coffee Company If the wait for breakfast is too long or you simply don’t want a full meal, you can grab a quick cup of joe at Waimea Coffee Company. Click for directions. STOP 2: POLOLU LOOKOUT A natural gem of the North Kohala coast is the Polulu Valley, where you can get a glimpse of the verdant landscapes and cliffs bordering the black sand beach. This is a classic postcard view of Hawaii, that you’ll get to see in person. There is a small parking lot at the end of the road, but it usually fills up early (before 9 am during the week). If the lot is full, you can find street parking along the road. From here you can enjoy the view from the top or take the 20-minute hike down to the bottom of the valley. The hike is steep and muddy in parts, but if you’re up for it, it’s worth the adventure. When you get to the bottom you’ll find a black sand/stone beach, hiking trails, tree swings, and a river going up the valley. It’s a peaceful place to stop and enjoy. Swimming is strongly discouraged because the ocean waves and currents can be strong and unpredictable here. Please refrain from hiking into the valley as it is sacred and private land. North Kohala Day IN-DEPTH North Kohala Day STOP 3: FIRST KAMEHAMEHA STATUE IN KAPA’AU Once you’ve left Pololu Lookout, you’ll head back into town and make your first quick stop in Kapa’au, at the first King Kamehameha I statue ever made. King Kamehameha is the most famous historical ruler and unified the Hawaiian islands in 1810. North Kohala is his birthplace, and the statue was erected here (a replica of the statue can be found on O'ahu). The Hawaii Tourism Authority has a brief history of this iconic ruler. STOP 4: HAWI TOWN AND KOHALA COFFEE MILL A few minutes down the road from Kapa’au and you’ll arrive in Hawi (pronounced Havi). In this charming town, you can stroll the small main street, stop in at the shops, and treat yourself to a snack or lunch. We recommend Kohala Coffee Mill as you’ll have some great Kona Coffee and a range of other options, from sandwiches to ice cream. Hawi is famous for being the turnaround point for the bike section of the Ironman. North Kohala Day IN-DEPTH North Kohala Day STOP 5: PANIOLO ADVENTURES Waimea is cowboy (paniolo) country and what better way to embrace that than with a horseback ride. As you’re driving back from Hawi to Waimea, you’ll be met with rolling green fields and views of the ocean. Spend some time here with an afternoon horseback ride with Paniolo Adventures. This beginner- friendly activity will get you out in the fresh air (and out of your car) as you learn some of the history of this ranching area. Stop 5 Alternative: Koai'a Tree Sanctuary If you’re not up for a horseback ride, enjoy the scenery with a short stroll at the Koai’a Tree Sanctuary. There are multiple hikes here of varying difficulty, but you can do the easy, less than 1-mile loop for a little break and to enjoy some of the scenery that you won’t find many other places on this island. More about the sanctuary can be found here. STOP 6: DINNER IN WAIMEA Head back to Waimea for delicious dinner options. Waimea has some excellent dining options, and our favorite is Merriman’s. Owned by chef Peter Merriman, you can also find a Merriman’s on Maui. They serve fresh local produce in a relaxed upscale environment and reservations are required.

  • Photographing the Islands of Hawaii
    Molokai Sea Cliffs - Molokai, Hawaii Photographing the Islands of Hawaii by E.J. Peiker Introduction to the Hawaiian Islands The Hawaiian Islands are an archipelago of eight primary islands and many atolls that extend for 1600 miles in the central Pacific Ocean. The larger and inhabited islands are what we commonly refer to as Hawaii, the 50 th State of the United States of America. The main islands, from east to west, are comprised of the Island of Hawaii (also known as the Big Island), Maui, Kahoolawe, Molokai, Lanai, Oahu, Kauai, and Niihau. Beyond Niihau to the west lie the atolls beginning with Kaula and extending to Kure Atoll in the west. Kure Atoll is the last place on Earth to change days and the last place on Earth to ring in the new year. The islands of Oahu, Maui, Kauai and Hawaii (Big Island) are the most visited and developed with infrastructure equivalent to much of the civilized world. Molokai and Lanai have very limited accommodation options and infrastructure and have far fewer people. All six of these islands offer an abundance of photographic possibilities. Kahoolawe and Niihau are essentially off-limits. Kahoolawe was a Navy bombing range until recent years and has lots of unexploded ordinance. It is possible to go there as part of a restoration mission but one cannot go there as a photo destination. Niihau is reserved for the very few people of 100% Hawaiian origin and cannot be visited for photography if at all. Neither have any infrastructure. Kahoolawe is photographable from a distance from the southern shores of Maui and Niihau can be seen from the southwestern part of Kauai.

  • Heʻe Wahine I Ka Lani- Goddess in the Surf
    Heʻe Wahine I Ka Lani: Goddess in the Surf by Ian ʻAkahi Masterson In Hawaiʻi, historian David Malo (1951) calls surfing a national pastime and a popular betting sport, indicating that all ages and both sexes enjoyed riding waves on various crafts. John Papa Iʻi (1959) describes the places that King Kamehameha enjoyed surfing, and how he would surf with his favorite wife Kaʻahumanu. Hawaiian Mythology portrays many legendary figures who enjoyed surfing with their intimate partners, like Palani and ‘Iewale of Kahana, as well as Pili Aʻama and Kapūʻewai of Waimea in Koʻolau, Oʻahu. Even the youngest of the Pele clan, Hiʻiaka, surfed off Haʻena, Kauaʻi, with the high chief Lohiʻau, after she and her brother Kanemilohaʻi revived him. There are also many women surfers who hold their own in the surf, displaying great prowess and attracting the highest ranks of kapu chiefs with their beauty and mana—chiefesses like Keaomelemele of Kealohilani, Keleanuinohoanaʻapiʻapi of Maui, Hinahanaiakamālama of Hilo, and Māmala of Kou Harbor in Honolulu. While Keaomelemele is in training, Kelea, Hina, and Māmala all surf with their suitors at some point in their stories. This correlation hints at the literary evidence presented about surfing women within Polynesian oral traditions. In a society that is believed by some historians to be restrictive towards the rights and freedom of women, what was the position of women with regards to surfing as a daily and a ritual activity in Hawaiʻi? How does women’s position in surfing as well as the role of surfing within Hawaiian mythology reflect greater cultural patterns within Remote Oceania? This paper is an exploration into the role of legendary surfing women portrayed throughout Hawaiian history in various myths and legends that mention them.
