4 **Always check the Air Quality for sulfur. They do close down parts of Island. Kona: Swim with the Giant Manta Rays: Night Snorkel or Scuba Dive just outside of Kona. Mantas are drawn to this special area by light that attracts plankton. Certified divers on the bottom shine lights up and snorkelers float above, leaving a wide- open water column in between for mantas to spin and feed. Approx. 2 1/2- hour tours leaving mostly from Keauhou Bay. Approx. $90 for snorkelers and $110 for certified divers. Volcano National Park: (Two 1/2 hours from Kona & only 35 minutes from Hilo) Nice to see lava at night. Park is very big with museums and many points of interest. Thurston Lave tube hikes a must. Chain of Craters road down and up approx. 3 hours drive! Molokai: My Favorite Island. See me. Lots and Lots to do!. Kauai: Most Beautiful This is a big and the oldest Island. Get a Helicopter and see all the waterfalls. It has the wettest spot in the world with the most rain. It has a Grand (Waiamea) Canyon not to be missed- takes about four to five hours. You get to look down the Pali Sea cliffs and it is Faboulos if not rained in. Maui-Lots of Traffic- not my best pick. In the middle of the Island is a Great Aquarium! I only go to Hana- Magic Old Hawaii. This is a hard trip by car- lots of s- curves and one- way bridges. All day So many waterfalls to stop at- Plan all day and leave early. 4
