Trip report:

Day 0

We left Manhattan at 6:45 am. The flight from LA to Honolulu was delayed for two and one-half hr. Arriving HNL at 10pm after checking in at the Plaza hotel. Got oyster burger and Mahi-buger. They were delicious.

day 1

Got up at 3:30am to catch the 5:20am flight on Hawaiian Air to arrive Hilo in 40 minutes. The airport is interesting in that the checkin counter is outdoors. The renter car was not available till noon so we took the taxi to Hilo Hawaiian hotel. Then we set out walking to the city center. The first stop was to get the breakfast in the hotel. Then we started the walking tour. First stop is the Cocunut island, which is just across from the hotel. Then the Liliuokalani garden- a very nice Japanese garden. Then continue to walk along the Banyan drive, with the pretty palm trees. Then we visited the Farmer's market and the city center. Bought a Hawaiian shirt for me and all kinds of fruits.

Got seafood from the shop by Suisan fish market--ok only.

In the afternoon we headed straight for Volcano National Park. Saw the 20 min film and drove along the Crater Rim Drive, stopping at Jagger museum to watch the crater. Also stopped at the Halemaumau crater overlook. Then took the walk on Thurston Lava Tube. This one is interesting but too well paved and there are too many tourists.

The highlight was the walk on the Kilauea Iki trail. The walk took us down a pretty rain forest and then down the crater. This one was created in 1959. Did not take the loop but returned by the same route. It is a very beautiful crater and you get a much beter feeling about the crater. Had dinner at Uncle Billy's restarent.

Day 2

Woke up a couple of times but eventully at 7am. Immediately took an early jogging inside the Waikea Fish Pond. It was quite pretty.

After breakfast we headed out to Akaka and Kahuna falls--very nice and lush rain forest. On the retrn we took the scenic route along the ocean. Had lunch at Canoe cafe in downtown Hilo. Then we decided to take a drive up the saddle road to see the upcountry. It was a beautiful drive and you can see the telescope domes on Mt Kea. Then return to see the Rainbow falls. Next went to see the Muna Loa Macademia factory. Took the nature walk to see differnt ginger plants. Bought some nuts for ourselves and sent some to Karin and to Cade's parents. Went back to Volcano National Park again. Still no live lava flow as told by the ranger. We then took the hike on the Puu Huluhulu cinder cone trail along the lava flow of recent years. It is an amazing sight for you to imagine the flow like mudslide or flood. The hike is very good.

Before returning to Hilo we decided at the last minute to drive along the Chain of Craters road toward the ocean. Eventually we got to the end of the road where there is a park ranger station. It is getting dark, lo and behold, there are lights at a distance. As it gets darker, you can see the lava flow at a distance!! We were told that we were lucky. The light was so conspicuous in the dark park. With about 30 people watching in the dark with flashlights, it is like an astronomy observation, except that the light is much more outstanding. We got our wish of the trip. It has been a long day.

day3

This morning the goal is the Waipio valley on the NE corner of the island. From the overlook we followed the paved road down to the valley. The view is incredible. On the way down we got to pick guavas but the taste was not that great. Once in the valley floor the trail toward the beach is a canopy of trees wiith little sunlight passing thru. The black sand beach is great, but the valley is much prettier. We headed inland in the valley to get a better view of the area. We met a local resident and was informed that there were 60 permanent residents living in the valley. There are only five homes with electricity.

After returning to the overlook to rest and clean up, it was a great surprise to meet Nora Berrah with her husband. They are to do the hike too while they are spending two weeks on the big island and Maui.

The lunch at Tex drive inn on HY19 and Honokka was great.

We then took 19 thru Waimea and the coast to arrive Kona. The Aston Keauhou resort hotel was quite nice.

It gives me a first experience on the resort hotel. The lobby is fully open-air and outdoors. The Kona tourist area is quite small. It is not the season so the crowd is small.

Day 4

This morning is to tour the NW coast. First stop was at Puukoholo where the ancient temples were located. Interesting but not much to see. The second stop was at Lapakahi State historical park which used to be a fishing village. The part of the big island is where the kingdom started in the 18th century We then headed up to the town of Hawi and then to Pololu valley. This is the other side of the Waipio valley. The two are separated by a series of mountain ranges and hiking trails which I wish I got the chance to do. The hike down to the black sand beach is easy but it was quite hot.

The return trip took us along 250 thru Waimea again. It is a very scenic road, especially as one approaches Waimea. It would have been an even better drive in the morning. This region is very dry but becomes greener at higher elevation. From Waimea we took 190 toward Kona. This is a more interesting road than 19. We took 180 to Holualoa. This upcountry is famous for its Kona coffee. The drive itself is very interesting but we missed the town.

Dinner was at Bubba Gump restaurent. It was quite good.

day 5

Today we arrived Maui on Aloha Airlines. After lunch we headed out to Iao Valley. The whole valley is full of lush vegetation and the Iao needle is fascinating. On the way back we stopped at the Heritage park where there was a statue of Sun Yeh-Sen. We then came to the Royal Lahina hotel-our home for the next three nites. We were to head to the NW tip of the island but it was raining hard so we turned around to stroll in the city of Lahaina to watch the crowd and the sunset. It is a fun city with the action centered on the front street.

day 6

The first thig to do today is to exchange for a better rental car. The one we got had pretty bad tires and making much noise.

Today's goal is to tour Haleakala at 10,000 ft above the sea level. The old volcanoic crater is a fascinating object. The drive-up is great with changing vegetations. After consulting with the park ranger, we decided to hike down the sliddinge sands trail , to the Ka Luu o ka Oo trail which ends at a cinder cone.The round trip is 5 miles with a drop of 1400 feet. It is a beautiful trail winding down the crater.The colors from the different cones, with mists coming in and out, are worth the hard work on the way back up. Hiking at that elevation is a litle bit hard but the experience is unbeatable. After stopping for a few more ovelooks we were too tired so we returned to the hotel to visit the beach in the evening. The sany beach behind the hotel was good but no time to enjoy. Dinner at Hula Restaurent in Whales Village was good.

Day 7 Friday

Today is the long trip to Hina. Left at 7am and having breakfast at Paia and packed two sandwisches for the road. This famous road is indeed incredible. The lush vegetation along the cuved coastal road which winds hundreds of times offer many incredible views of the coast and the mountain. Interesting stops include:

Waikamoi ridge trail

Keanae aboretum

Wailua wayside lookout for lunch

Waianapanapa State Park:very nice coast. buy fruits from stands here

Red sand beach in Hana

pick up an old lady from Hana on the way to Oheo gulch area. The gulch is again a very pretty place to play in the pools orhikes. Too bad it was getting late so we have to return.We left at 4pm and it was about 6:20pm when we got to Paia again for dinner. Got to hotel at 8pm. It was a 13 hr day.

Day 8: (Kauai)

We arrived the city of Luhei around 10:30am. The hotel is a two-bed rental apartment right near the Nawiliwili beach park After a quick lunch, we headed up the north coast. On the way we stopped at Kappa to get great fruits from a fruit stand. Three ripe papayas for one buck.They were sweet and juicy. This afternoon we are to hike the famous Kalalau trail. We were to do the first two miles only which would take us to Ha akapiai beach. This is a famous trail and there were so many people on the muddy trail only the hike up Mt Fuji in 1999 can be compared. The hike along the coast in the lush vegetation and majestic peaks is indeed quite spectacular. It is not a diffcult hike at all. The remaining journey is supposed to be harder. The hike took us 3 hrs and we watched the setting sun from the Kee beach state park. With coconut trees lining along the beach, this is where many scences from the movie "The Thorn Birds" were taken.

On the return to Lihui we stopped at the Kappa Fish and Chowder restaurent. The dining room is surrounded by beautiful orchids and the waiter Jeff was great. He recommended us a fish called moi. It is called the king of fish and its meat is the best I ever had. It is a great restaurent.

Day 9

The next day our goal is the Na Pali coast and the Waimea canyon. The latter is called the grand canyon of the Pacific. It is the X'mas day but we were able to get all the supplies needed at a food store. The first goal is to hike the Awaawapuhi trail in the Kokee Park. This 6 1/2 mile round trip trail took us to a cliff overlooking the coast. The rocks below are spectacular. One segment has been called the cathedral rock. We met a hunter with a dead wild pig and his 7 or 8 dogs. The hike took aout 3 hrs.

The remaining daylight hours were used to do the sights at the overlooks. They are all great. In particular, it appears that a hike near the Waimea canyon would be quite desirable. There are other trails that should be explored in the future. The detour to Poipu area did not get us too far since it was getting dark and it was the holiday. Today is the Christmas day.

Day 10

The third day we had to head back to HNL. Before that the morning was spent walking around the Marriot hotel complex and the Lagoon golf course near our hotel. Then we flew to HNL. After arriving at the hotel (Radison ) we just spent the afternoon walking on Waikiki Beach. It was full of people. I think some vacationers cannot leave home without seeing other people.

Day 11

Today the main event is to see the Arizona War Memorial. After getting out of the Waikiki area we managed to miss the turnoff and was lost for a while. Eventually we got there and after looking at the old pictures of the Pearl Harbor, eventually we were able to get into the theater to watch a movie about the Pearl Harbor event. Then a boat got the tourists to the Memorial. It sits in the water, above where the Arizona was sank, with all the sailors “buried” in there since 1941. The Memorial was nicely done and should be on the list of every tourist to HNL.

On the return we stopped for shopping at Ala Manor shopping center. It was quite tiring but there you see some local people, instead of just seeing all the tourists.

Day 12

It is a long day today since the flight is at 6:30pm and we still have a full day to kill. The first thing was to hike up the Diamond Head. The hike is quite easy. It offered a good view of the Waikiki. It is nice to do once since you need to go thru the tunnel. But other hikes are probably much better. After checking out of the hotel and the lunch, it was decided that staying in Waikiki and waiting for the flight is not a good idea. Thus we started a drive along the southern shore and then came back thru the center mountain road to HNL and then to the airport. The trip is ok but not as exciting as the other three islands.

The flight back home from HNL to MSP was a direct flight, taking about 7hrs. At MSP the flight to KCI was delayed for a couple of hours due to the snow. Back home and back to the cold.

It was a great trip.

Additional Report

Haleakala

Trails : In the Summit area, two trails lead into the Wilderness. Sliding Sands Trail starts at the Haleakala Visitor Center parking lot and descends 2,500 feet through a cinder desert to the valley floor in 4 miles. The return trip is difficult due to the steep grade, elevation, and reduced oxygen. Allow twice the time to hike out as it takes to hike in.

( we did this one—a great one)

Halemauu Trail begins at the 8'000 foot parking lot 3.5 miles above Park Headquarters. The first mile gradually descends through native shrubland to the valley rim. Two miles of switchbacks then descend 1,400 feet to the valley floor. Sliding Sands and Halemauu trails eventually join after about 9 miles, and are also connected with short spur trails. Ask at Park Headquarters or Haleakala Visitor center about alternatives for shorter hikes; even short walks offer spectacular views on clear days. At Kipahulu, all trails start at the Ranger Station. Check at the station for current trail and swimming conditions. Be alert to water conditions as flash flooding may occur within minutes. Obey posted warning signs. The Kaloa Point Trail is an easy half mile loop towards the ocean along pools and waterfalls and back to the ranger station. Kaloa Point is a windy bluff overlooking Oheo Gulch. Crashing surf and views of the Island of Hawaii are a five minute walk from the Ranger Station. Enjoy a picnic on the grass next to the remnants of an ancient fishing shrine and house site. Explore a Lau Hala thatched building and envision an earlier time. The Papwai Trail is a moderately difficult four mile (round trip) hike through the rain forest up to Waimoku Falls. The trail ends upstream, near the base of 400' Waimoku Falls. Take a picnic lunch, snack, insect repellant and water along on this three hour hike

For the most fun in Haleakala National Park, try these GORP picks:

Hike a Lava Flow

Miles of hiking trails wind through the rain forest. A prime destination is the park's nearly 20,000 acres of wilderness, where you'll find vegetation that grows nowhere else in the world. Wander past native trees such as 'ohi'a , 'olapa , and kolea , as well as the native raspberry 'akala that grows in wet flatlands along the trails. The 8.4-mile Kuapo Gap Trail descends 6,100 feet from the lush eastern corner of the Haleakala Crater to the dry, rocky coastline of southeast Maui. The Kuapo Gap is a giant crack in the wall of the crater that once spilled huge lava flows all the way to the sea. Short switchbacks through this volcanic moonscape alternate with steep stretches of trail during the first 3.7 miles. Waterfalls are often visible on the east wall. After that, the trail drops relentlessly down through mostly Haleakala National Park

Hiking Kipahulu District

The Kipahulu Valley is a land of mountain valleys, rainforest, waterfalls, and sweeping views of the surrounding Pacific Ocean. The Upper Kipahulu Valley, kapu (taboo) as in prehistoric times, is a sanctuary for native plants and animals and a scientific reserve closed to the public. However, the Kipahulu Coastal area offers hiking, camping, and swimming (when the streams are calm).

From the Kipahulu Ranger Station, trails lead upstream to the larger waterfalls, rainforest and stream overlooks. Downstream, Kuloa Point Loop Trail leads to spectacular views of the rugged coastline, ruins and archeological sites and the lower falls of Palikea Stream The stream near Kuloa Point is a popular swimming area when it is not flooding. (The rocky ocean shore within the National Park is beautiful to look at but never safe to swim in.)

When the first Europeans arrived, the picturesque lands of Hana, Kipahulu, and Kaupo were densely populated. Thousands of Hawaiians chose this productive land for their homesites. To preserve the cultural and natural heritage of Kipahulu, Congress added the upper Kipahulu rainforest to Haleakala National Park in 1951. Through the efforts of Laurence S. Rockefeller, Charles A. Lindbergh, The Nature Conservancy and others, the coastal lands were donated to the Park in 1969,

extending the Park from 10,000+ feet to sea level.

More than 8000 acres of rainforest drain through the Park's streams. Two streams, Palikea and Pipiwai are entirely within Park boundaries, and dozens of their waterfalls are accessible to visitors. Palikea, nominated for National Wild & Scenic River status, and starting nearly eight miles above the Ranger Station, is Maui's longest perennial stream.

Kipahulu abounds in traditional Hawaiian culture, seen in the remains of old agricultural terraces, shelter sites, fishing shrines, temples, canoe ramps, and rock walls. Working to restore the historic scene through re-establishment of native plants and animals, and control of alien species invading the Park, the National Park Service is attempting to pass on the wonders of Haleakala, unimpaired, to future generations. During your visit you may see park employees and volunteers planting native plants, reconstructing Hawaiian thatched houses, farming traditional crops, or demonstrating native crafts.

At Kipahulu, all trails start at the Ranger Station. Check at the station for current trail and swimming conditions. Be alert to water conditions as flash flooding may occur within minutes. Obey posted warning signs. The Kaloa Point Trail is an easy half mile loop towards the ocean along pools and waterfalls and back to the ranger station. Kaloa Point is a windy bluff overlooking Oheo Gulch. Crashing surf and views of the Island of Hawaii are a five minute walk from the Ranger Station. Enjoy a picnic on the grass next to the remnants of an ancient fishing shrine and house site. Explore a Lau Hala thatched building and envision an earlier time.

The Papwai Trail is a moderately difficult four mile (round trip) hike through the rain forest up to Waimoku Falls. The trail ends upstream, near the base of 400 foot Waimoku Falls. Take a picnic lunch, snack, insect repellant and water along on this three hour hike.

Ranger programs include a one mile hike to the Bamboo Forest and a 4 mile round trip hike to Waimoku Falls.

Hiking

All trails start at the trailhead at the Ranger Station. Check at the Ranger Station for current trail and swimming conditions.

Pipiwai Trail

This trail will take you along the lower mile of Palikea Stream past dozens of unnamed waterfalls, and ruins of the 1800's Sugar Hill dam, irrigation system and cane flumes.

When the stream is flowing its worth even a 1/2 mile hike on this trail to see the 184 foot falls at the Hakahiku Overlook.

Continuing on another 1/2 mile the trail crosses Palikea and follows Pipiwai Stream one more mile to Waimoku Falls.

The trail passes by ancient Hawaiian farm sites and through an alien (non-native) bamboo forest. Mud, rain, alien mosquitoes, slippery mosses, stream crossings, and high humidity are the normal conditions that challenge the hikers who tackle the second mile of Pipiwai Trail through the rainforest. Memories of the scenes and experiences of the forest replace the thoughts of the hardships for those who complete the 4 mile round trip.

Do not attempt this hike or any stream crossings when streams are swollen with flood waters. Stay on trails; numerous cliffs and streams present dangers to unwary explorers. Hikers will want to have sturdy boots, water, boots, water, raingear, and mosquito repellent.

Kuloa Point Loop Trail

An easy 0.5 mile walk down to spectacular views of the ocean; past prehistoric ruins; looping along lower Palikea Stream past overlooks on several waterfalls and returning to the trailhea

prehistoric lava tube; Kilauea Iki, a two-hour hike descending 400 feet through native forest into a crater and across lava flows still steaming from the 1959 Kilauea Iki eruption (four-mile loop);

Pu`u Huluhulu, a two-hour roundtrip hike over 1973-1974 lava flows to the top of a 150 foot prehistoric cinder cone (three miles roundtrip). Access is from Chain of Craters Road. Kipuka Puaulu, a one-hour, one mile loop trail through an "island" of forest rich with rare plants. Access is from Mauna Loa Road

Highly recommended is the Kilauea Iki trail, a four-mile (two-hour) hike, descending 400 feet through native rain forest into a crater, and across lava flows still steaming from the 1959 eruption.

Bike the Caldera

The park's three main roads offer great opportunities to get acquainted with the natural wonders of the park. For example, cyclists and drivers can take one of the short drives around Kilauea Crater via Crater Rim Drive. This 11-mile drive circles Kilauea's summit caldera and craters, passes through rain forest and desert, and provides access to well-marked scenic stops and short walks. Highlights include Sulphur Banks, Steam Vents, Jaggar Museum, Halema'uma'u Crater, Devastation Trail, Kilauea Iki Crater, and Thurston Lava Tube

Hike through a Lava Tube

Hiking opportunities abound in the park, but few trails deliver as much bang for the energy expended as the 20-minute walk at Nahuku (Thurston) Lava Tube. You'll plunge into Hawaiian rain forest and then a lava tube that formed about 350-500 years ago. A tunnel forms when the surface of a lava flow cools and solidifies while the still-molten interior flows through and drains away. Access to the lava tube is through one of the small pit craters that have lush vegetation. The trail descends along the wall of the crater then across its floor

Other hikes in the Park include the challenging Crater Rim loop, an 11-mile, all-day adventure around the summit caldera. Or try the Devastation Trail. Don't let the name fool you: it's an easy, 1-mile stroll on a paved path through a forest recovering from Kilauea Iki's 1959 eruption. Another highlight is the Halema'uma'u trail, which descends 400 feet through a rain forest, then crosses Kilauea Crater to Malema'uma'u Crater

The Na Pali Coast is a very special place. The pali, or cliffs, provide a rugged grandeur of deep, narrow valleys ending abruptly at the sea. Waterfalls and swift flowing streams continue to cut these narrow valleys while the sea carves cliffs at their mouths. Extensive stone walled terraces can still be found on the valley bottoms where Hawaiians once lived and cultivated taro
