It will bring you to Kee Beach, which is a beautiful, tourist free, place to dunk your toes, surf the waves, or swim if your brave. Along the way, you'll get to see some beautiful views, and cool, counterculture beach towns. Mon hilo, hawaii 8:30 AM 6:00 PM Rent a car, and drive up to Volcanoes National Park. You'll actually get to walk next to steam vents in the lava. Drive to the area where the lava actually flows into the ocean. Tue lahaina (maui), hawaii 7:00 AM -- Wed lahaina (maui), hawaii -- 6:00 PM Two days in Maui are perfect. Rent a car, drive to and up Haliakala, a sacred, inactive volcano whose summit is over 10,000 feet. If you like to bike, there's actually a tour that takes you up the mountain, where you grab a bike and ride down. Go to the beach during your second day in Maui. There are many wonderful beaches on this Island, so take your pick. Howie Then we are staying 2 days in honolulu (oahu), hawaii Really appreciate any information. Aloha.

Hawaii "must do" Excursions
Depending on the amount of time you might want to spend on any one
excursion: Hilo: Queen Liliuokalani Gardens; take a tour of Volcanoes National Park Kona: Place of Refuge Lahaina (day 1): Rent a car and go on the Road to Hana. Research and make sure you hit all the stops on the way where there are beaches, waterfalls and parks. A friend of mine actually made up a spreadsheet for this! Lahaina (day 2): Get up early and go see the sunrise on the summit of Haaleakala. Take warm clothes, it gets very cold up there. Lahaina (day 2): If you are there during whale season, tour a whale watching tour with the Pacific Whale Foundation. I haven't been to the islands, so I can't help there!

Hawaii "must do" Excursions
i know a must do excursion it is the uss arizona memorial it is really
beautful and very interesting have a safe trip autumn You are The Ghost Host! Let's face it, your charm lies in your voice. It's commanding...it's sinister...it's attractive...it's disembodied! You enjoy entertaining and guiding others, but you like to do it on your own terms, from the shadows. This doesn't seem to bother anyone. In fact, your dark sense of humor keeps people coming back over and over for more fun and frivolity! Please feel free to display the plaque below on your online journal or website. Simply cut and paste the code provided...BUT! Please do remember to upload the image to your OWN servers before you link it (all you have to do is add your image url to the code!). =A0 =A0 go back to the quiz main page | go back to Better Haunts & Graveyards |

Thanks. We appreciate the feedback. Please keep the "must do" ideas coming. On Maui, the "must do" is visit the top of Haleakala, and visit Hana. On Hawaii, it depends on what the volcano is doing. If it is active, you absolutely must get to the best places to see it doing whatever it is doing. This might involve driving and/or walking, or paying big bucks for a helicopter. If you've never seen it in action, pay whatever it takes, even if it maxes out your credit card. If it is not going, just drive around the island passing by the volcanoes and take walks on the many trails ... you really should see things like the lava tunnels. If the volcano is going, you can see how they are made. The most "beautiful" part of the big island is just north of Hilo. Doug McDonald |

What are your choices in Kona? We've spent a bit of time there, but I
don't know what they would be offering as excursions. Lisa |

Hawaii "must do" Excursions
Only have done land based Hawaii vacations. We can get to Honolulu in 5
1/2 hours from Anchorage, non-stop and a little more to Maui. On Oahu, have always have enjoyed the North Shore. Last time we went we just went and hung out at the beach and watched them surf and boogie board, plus the Polynesian Culture Center. This allows you to see the different Pacific cultures in one place. On Maui, besides spending time at the beach, taking a whale watching tour, if the whales are there November - March (always gets me because these are the whales that winter in Hawaii and summer in Alaska, best of both worlds)and a visit to the Maui Ocean Center.
