Ancient Lava Tube Exits Over the Water (Big Island, Hawaii)

***APRIL 2008 UPDATE:*** They have sealed this lava tube! For photos, go to this link: http://www.flickr.com/photos/17144603@N02/sets/72157604748683242/

We had a very unique experience on The Big Island’s southwestern shore. Hiking south along the coastal trail from Pu’uhonua o Hōnaunau, we found the lava tube mentioned in our guidebook. It was a tough crawl through the center of it, but once we reached the end, we had a unique perch.

The lava tube ends abruptly over the water. It was about 20 feet or so down to the water. And the water looked deep enough for us to jump. However, we did not indulge.

While we stood there snapping some photos and taping our experience, a small tour boat came along and slipped into a cave below us.

Hawaii Big Island Tour

Cruising the Big Island. Some shots from North Kohala, Waipio, Kona, Hilo, Puna, and Kilauea. We swam with turtles, saw dolphins from the beach, and flew over a gas and lava spewing volcano. All in five days. There’s also a few shots from Honolulu – Waikiki, you should check out Dukes in the Outrigger if you get a chance. A reasonably priced burger, and a setting you just can’t beat…

Hawai’i, Episode 1: 1st week in Hawai’i

We moved away from everyone/thing we knew and want to share our lives and what we see with family and friends. We made the long move from Austin TX to Kailua-Kona HI. This video is our first week in town.

NOTE: music removed by youtube and they have removed the option to mute the video, instead they force you to choose something from their very sad music library. music used to be Regina Spektor-Us. Also, the tour at the end can not be heard due to the replaced audio track. sorry for the change in video. this mainly sucks because now this video with the horrible audio swap track is the only existing version of episode 1, thanks youtube you jerks!

Hiking Trails and Beaches of Kaloko, Big Island Hawaii

A thriving Hawai’ian community out here in the middle of the desert? At Honokohau, ancient Hawai’ians took advantage of abundant freshwater springs to site a large community centered around fishing, fishponds and taro fields. The National Historic Park preserves a vast complex of important archeological sites, including heiaus, fishponds, a fishtrap, house sites, burials, a holua (sledding track), a Queen s Bath and abundant petroglyphs. An information center and bookshop is located between the two access roads off the highway and the best place to start any exploration of the National Park. As a beach, Ai’iopio Beach is one of Kona s finest, most protected and fun places to swim. Abundant shade along a long wide beach and a protected reach make this is perfect to take children though the water is a little murky for ideal snorkeling.
