Top events in Hawaii

The world’s tallest volcano on Hilo

Mauna Kea is one of five shield volcanoes that make up the Big Island of Hawaii. The volcano has 12 world-class observatories and is well-worth a visit to see lava rock, alpine tundra and evidence of the enormous ice cap that dominated the terrain 11,000 years ago. Local legend has it that the summit is home to the Hawaiian snow goddess, Poliahu.

Lanai cat sanctuary

The island of Lanai has a population is just 3,000 people, who mostly work at the island’s Four Seasons resort. Bolstering the headcount are 500 feline cats that live at the “Fur Seasons”. This cat sanctuary allows the felines to move freely over 25,000 square feet of land. It was opened in 2009 to save as many cats as possible from being hunted when the island became overpopulated. A volunteer program traps the cats, neuters them and releases them back into their communities. Thousands of cat lovers travel to the island every year to visit the “Hawaiian Lions”.

Diving for wrecks

The WWII Corsair plane wreck dive site off Honolulu is now home to a unique garden eel population and is popular with divers and photographers. The dive is considered advanced, so boats and a guide are required. If you’re brave enough, you might even see a few jacks and stingrays.

Honolulu’s kaniakapupu ruins

Spend an enchanting morning visiting what remains of the summer palace of King Kamehameha III, who ruled the Kingdom of Hawaii from 1825 to 1854. Completed in 1845, Kaniakapupu was built in the Nu’uanu Valley on Oahu. The ruins can be found on a parcel of crown lands called Luakaha, which roughly translates to “place of relaxation”. The palace was built as a place where the king and his court could escape the summer heat and Western influence. Here they had the space to speak about politics and governance with Hawaiian chiefs, provide refreshment and entertainment to the Hawaiian people, and host foreign dignitaries in Hawaiian style.

Amnesty and refuge

Place of Refuge is an ancient holy grounds that once granted amnesty to anyone who entered. From roughly 600 AD until Kamehameha’s monarchy in 1810, the islands were governed by a kapu (meaning “forbidden”) system that dictated daily life. It was made up of many laws that, if infringed, meant death by human sacrifice. Those sentenced to death could receive a full pardon if they set foot in the Place of Refuge on the southwestern coast of the Big Island; but to reach it, they first had to elude their pursuers. The holy grounds were adjacent to a royal complex, separated by a wall 10 feet high and 17 feet thick. If the convict was able to circumvent the royal guards, they then had to make it across a shark-infested bay. Today, the ruins allow visitors to experience a recreation of traditional village life and the Bay of Honaunau is a favorite snorkeling site.
