Discovering East Hawai’i – Waterfalls and Volcanoes

Venture to the enchanting East side of Hawai‘i Island, a lush, tropical haven. With an average of 14 inches of rain each month, the lush rainforest thrives, creating a landscape rich in life and color. This region is home to the only natural tropical rainforest zoo in the United States and offers a unique cultural and ecological experience. Visit Volcanoes National Park, home of an active volcano, where each eruption reshapes the earth, adding to the area's dramatic beauty. If you’re lucky, Madame Pele may put on a show for you! From scenic coastlines and stunning waterfalls to a sky often painted with rainbows, East Hawai‘i is a feast for the senses—an unforgettable blend of nature’s wonder and tropical charm.

Experience Sunny Kona

Bask in the warmth of West Hawai‘i, affectionately known as the "Sunny Side" of the island. With average monthly rainfall of just 4 inches and temperatures in the comfortable 80s, this region is perfect for outdoor adventures beneath consistently clear skies. Swim in crystal-clear waters, snorkel vibrant reefs, or ride the waves at some of the island’s best beaches. Wander through charming coastal towns filled with local flavor and inviting restaurants. You can even view Ahu'ena Heiau – a temple built by King Kamehameha I between 1812 and 1813 to honor Lono, the god of fertility. The temple served as the king's personal refuge and was his home for the last years of his life. As the day winds down, enjoy sunsets that paint the sky with unforgettable colors. Hawai’i’s west side offers so much to see and do!
