There are also a number of breathtaking waterfalls including Akaka Falls, Kahuna Falls and Hiilawe Falls located inside the awe-inspiring Waipio Valley. Be sure to set aside some time on your vacation to explore these stunning miracles of nature including two of the earth’s active volcanoes – Kilauea and Mauna Loa.
A visit to the Big Island’s wonders of nature promises education and exploration as you learn all about the national monuments and sites here on the Big Island.
The Ala Kahakai trail was designated for the preservation and protection of the Native Hawaiian culture and natural resources. It is made up of a structure of trails and follows a coastline path stretching more than 175 miles from Upolu Point on the northern point of the Big Island, west along the Kona coast and around South Point at Ka Lae to the eastern boundary of Hawaii Volcanoes National Park.
The trail itself can be accessed through sections within the four National Parks including Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, Pu’uhonua o Honaunau National Historical Park, Kaloko-Honokohau National Historical Park and Pu’ukohola National Historic Site.
The trail passes through hundreds of important historical sites in Hawaiian culture such as temples, housing settlements, fishponds and petroglyph fields. The section of the trail that is open to the public is located between Pu’ukohola Heiau National Historic Site and Anaeho’omalu Bay.
