First of all, talk about the antecedents of this trip and the final reason for choosing Hawaii

We planned to go to Alaska because we didn't want to waste the US visa. Unfortunately, we couldn't find time in July. After inquiring about the fact that bears had gone to eat berries in the mountains in August, the famous bear couldn't see the trout, so we turned our attention to Peru. However, there were very few flights in Shanghai. The cheapest and most convenient connecting price of United Airlines in Atlanta was 2.3W, This figure scared me away. After waiting for a month, the ticket price remained stable. Finally, I had no choice but to turn my eyes to Hawaii.

Yes, Hawaii is not my first choice. Even when I made the decision, I was still reluctant. Fortunately, Hawaii gave us a lot of surprises in the end. When we hiked on Kauai Island, the magnificent scenery of Napali coast, the view of the sea on the big island, the view of the volcano, the view of the starry sky, the play with turtles on Maui Island, and the view of the sunset in the place most like the surface of the moon, Before leaving, the fat man said that he didn't expect Hawaii to play so much. Yes, Hawaii is a multi-faceted world. You can not only enjoy high-end services on golf courses and public beaches, but also see active volcanoes entering the sea, explore the underwater world, and get close contact with the Star River at the best Observatory in the world, You can take part in all kinds of extreme sports. If you are willing to sweat, you only need a pair of walking shoes to see the most magnificent scenery of volcanic island in the world.

Then, the old rule goes on the journey:

8.5. Asiana Airlines will transfer to Honolulu, and Hawaiian Airlines will fly to Lihue

8.6 a.m. Kee beach snorkeling, in the afternoon Waimea Canyon, in the evening watch the sunset in poipubeach

8.In the morning, Kalalau trail hiked, in the afternoon, tunnels beach went snorkeling. On the way back, I saw the waterfall in the Wailua River Valley

8.The original plan was waipio Valley, but hiking on the volcano was too strenuous. So I took a nap in the morning, went to the farmer's market at noon, and then continued to take a nap. At 4 p.m., I left for Mauna Kea to watch the sunset and the stars

8.I checked out in the morning on November 11 and played all the way to Kona. I passed through black beach and South Cape. Because it turned cloudy at noon, I didn't stop much. I went all the way to the hotel. After checkin, I went to Kona dive company to participate in the devil fish night diving

8.All day long, you can travel around Maui along the coastline, from the apartment to the northernmost end, then go northeast to road to Hana, and finally enter Haleakala from the south gate to watch the sunset and stars. You have experienced two unpaved roads in one day, starting at 8 o'clock and returning at 10 o'clock

8.In the morning, I took a snorkeling in Molokini & Turtle town cruise, took a nap, and in the afternoon, I went to whale Village Shopping Center to watch the sunset in ka'anapali beach

8.21 am, check out and fly to Seoul

Considering the time and cost before departure, greedy we decided to play the four islands in the order of Kauai, Dadao, Maoyi and Ohu according to the convenience of distance and flight. Although the fat man said at the end of the trip that these four islands are all worth visiting, they always have their own characteristics and play points. So before the beginning of the travel notes, I would like to describe the overall image of these four islands, Although it is a saying of one family, it can also give some reference to the latecomers.

Kaoai

In my eyes, Kauai is like a girl who doesn't wear any powder. Although she is not as beautiful as the jingchai cloth skirt, she has her own beauty without decoration. This island has the wettest land in the world, and naturally has the most luxuriant vegetation. However, these vegetation are basically displayed in the original posture without pruning, which makes the whole island full of primitive wildness. Kauai is the most suitable Hawaiian island for hiking. There are many famous hiking routes at the southern and Northern ends of Napali coastline and Waimea Canyon. Here, beaches, bays, dense forests, waterfalls and cliffs can be completely integrated, making people feel tired and relaxed. In kaoai in summer, the bay at the north end is more suitable for snorkeling. We did see some fish at the snorkeling spots recommended by you, but there are basically no living corals, the color is relatively single, and the fish species are not rich. Of course, this may be because we didn't swim far away. In addition, there are many activities in the wairua River Valley of Kauai, such as hiking, canoeing and so on. We can see beautiful prehistoric plants, but because we are not interested in it, we prefer to spend our time on snorkeling, so we don't make arrangements. In a word, Kauai is an island that can enjoy itself without spending a lot of money. Compared with other islands, people are the least and most peaceful.

Big island is the most abundant of our four islands, including helicopter watching volcano, Volcano Park, lava hiking watching active volcano, farmer's market, maonaki Observatory watching Star and sunset, black beach watching turtle, and devil fish diving at night. If it wasn't for the time constraint and the tiredness of hiking, the waipiou gorge in the north, the South cape and the green beach in the south are also very worthwhile to visit. Several historical parks and white beach near Kona in the West should also be good places to visit, but we all gave up because of the time and weather.

In addition, I would also like to recommend a very beautiful landscape road. Unfortunately, we didn't leave a picture, because we accidentally found this road when we arrived at the lava hike from the volcano park. The starting point of lava hike should be at the end of the southern end of highway 137, which is b in the following screenshot, When I set up GPS, I set up the north end of the section, which is a place. As a result, it took us 30 minutes more than originally planned to get to the hiking point. In the past 30 minutes, we drove from north to south along highway 137. This road is really worth walking. The road is undulating but very smooth. On one side is blue sky and blue sea, white sand and black reef, mixed with beautiful wild flowers and lush weeds, On one side, there are lush tree crowns and small houses. Along the way, there are several seaside parks for snorkeling and swimming. This is a paradise for local people, but we waste such beautiful scenery because we have to go on the road.

Generally speaking, the big island is the most rough, unrestrained and original of the four islands, and it is also the most colorful one to enjoy. If you really go to the sea to see volcanoes and stars, you feel like you can do anything. If you have enough holidays, I suggest you stay in the big Island longer than three days. It's definitely worth it.

Maui is my favorite of the four Hawaiian Islands, no doubt. It has both the vitality of Kauai and the primitive and rugged nature of the big island. If you like shopping, the shopping malls in the west of Maoyi resort are not inferior to those in ohulai. What's more, Maoyi has its unique beautiful style. The vast grass is as thick as the grass, the tree crown is trimmed like a private soldier, and there is a calm bay suitable for snorkeling, There are also large areas of black reef rocks, which lead to waves breaking the shore and rolling up thousands of piles of snow. There are not only unique landforms like Harley Akala, but also unique snorkeling resorts like moon bay. Driving along every coastal road in Maoyi, even unpaved roads can make people relaxed and happy, and show their mind.

Oahu

Honolulu on Oahu Island is the capital of Hawaii. Naturally, Oahu Island has become the most prosperous of the eight islands in Hawaii. LG even said that it found the feeling of driving in Los Angeles on the viaduct of Oahu Island. Therefore, Ohu is also the most suitable place for shopping among the four islands. In addition to several large shopping centers, the only outlet in Hawaii is also in Ohu. In addition, Ohu has many activities, such as paragliding and parachuting, which are suitable for people who are willing to challenge. There are snorkeling places like dinosaur Bay, which are suitable for beginners. There are popular cultural villages like PCC, which are suitable for people who like to join in, Pearl Harbor is suitable for people who want to receive American patriotism education, as well as canoes, catamarans, pineapple garden, equality house, diamond head and so on. The most important thing is that Ohu is the only one in the Hawaiian Islands who can travel by public transportation and is suitable for people who are not convenient to drive.

Ohu, which I like, is far away from Waikiki and even the city center. There are several white and delicate beaches, stretching for several kilometers, with blue-green water crystal clear. It is the most beautiful of the four islands we have visited.

Let's talk about air tickets. The price of the international air ticket is not cheap. Now the U.S. tour is too popular. The cheapest one that can be found in April to fly to Honolulu in August is 7600, and ANA has to stop at Fukuoka for one night. Finally, after considering the cross-border signing policy and price, I bought Hanya's and stayed in Seoul for 3 nights on the return trip. The price was 8300, including tax for one person. It has to be said that although there has been a lot of negative news in recent years, Hanya is quite worthy of recommendation. The seats are spacious and the entertainment facilities are complete. The key is that the service is super good. Throughout the whole process, the stewardess hold trays and balk back and forth to ask if they want drinks or water. The black faced aunts and uncles like United Airlines, Russian Airlines and Air France can't match them, Even Lufthansa needs self-service when it wants to have a drink of water in the second half of its flight. The reputation of Ruihang and AHL is not as good as that of Hanya in terms of service. Of course, this is only my personal view. It is also possible that Hanya's demand for service quality has increased after the accident, which just let us catch up. As for my four-way inter Island Airlines, it can only be described as an ill fated one. First, Pacific wings suddenly cancelled all flights, and had to call back to buy Mokulele, and then go! Suddenly changed the time of two flights, including huonurufeilijue to 6 pm, so we have to wait for 8 hours at Honolulu Airport to transfer!!! So I called back and bought Hawaiian Airlines. At that time, there was basically only full price left...... When I buy inter Island air tickets, I basically search the official website and pl. when I buy the cheapest one at the right time, I need to remind myself of two things. First, I need to pay attention to the time when I rent and return the car. If it is too late, the car rental company may count one more day. Second, I need to consider the route when I fly to the big island. If I have enough time, I can choose an airport to get in and out, Because Hilo and Kona charge $85 to return the car from other places.

Let's talk about accommodation.

We don't have a high demand for accommodation. We don't need luxury hotels. On the contrary, we prefer B & B family hotels, but it's obvious that there are not many B & B hotels in Hawaii

Let's talk about these hotels in detail

Kauai, which ranks high near the airport and has good cost performance, is located near the Wailua River Valley and is quite close to the airport. It is a family hotel that does not provide catering services. There are three houses in total, one of which is a bungalow with two bedrooms and one living room. The East of the house rents two bedrooms separately, sharing the bathroom, living room and kitchen; One is a cottage with two bedrooms; Another is the apartment we rent. It's a two-story building. The first floor is the living room, bathroom and kitchen. The second floor is the bedroom. There is a small balcony on both floors. You can see the lush valley. In addition, there is a public area, which is a large reception hall connected to our apartment. There is a small swimming pool at the back door of the reception hall.

{x} x {x} x {x} x {x} x http://hotels.ctrip.com/international/1458627.html

Let me talk about its advantages and disadvantages separately.

advantage:

1. The environment is quiet, because it is located in the valley, so it is very quiet. The small house is almost completely hidden in the shade. The whole hotel is a small garden, which is very primitive and wild.

2. The price is very suitable. It's only $110 including tax.

3. The room is well equipped with almost all kinds of daily necessities. The kitchen supplies are even more meticulous. It is suitable for comrades who are not used to Western food or like to cook by themselves.

4. It's very safe. Take our apartment as an example. All the windows are unlocked. The front door and back door only have one super unreliable lock that can be locked from the inside. That is to say, if we leave, the door will always be open. On the first day after checking in, I went to the supermarket to buy. At that time, I was still a little worried. LG comforted me that since there was no lock, it must be because there was no need to exist. Sure enough, we left all our belongings, including a computer, an iPad and expensive camera equipment in the room. We didn't bring them with us when we went snorkeling the next day, and we were safe all the time.

Disadvantages:

1. There are too many mosquitoes

2. There are too many mosquitoes

3, there are too many mosquitoes, probably because the vegetation is too luxuriant. The mosquitoes here often frighten the Shi people. They don't say it in the garden. People will not be bitten as long as they keep moving. Once they enter the house, they must immediately put mosquito repellent incense on them or spray mosquito repellent spray on the bare skin. On the first day we were not familiar with the environment, we were bitten by seven dizzy eight elements. We immediately went to the supermarket and bought a can of spray and mosquito repellent. After returning, we found that the landlord had prepared mosquito repellent incense and mosquito repellent liquid. If you have as much complaint about mosquitoes as I do, you should consider whether you want to live here. It took me a night to accept the reality of sleeping in a smoky environment. We don't use electric mosquito repellent incense, because the room is too big, so we can only carry mosquito repellent incense wherever we go.

In addition, the decoration and facilities of magicsunrise are relatively simple, which can't be compared with luxury star hotels. This is for sure.

Most of the photos are taken by mobile phone, just make do

B & B in Hiro, Oshima

In a blog post on Sina, I saw a little girl recommend a B & B run by an old couple of Hilo. She said that the attitude was friendly and the breakfast was first-class. She wrote to me and the reservation was full in the past. But the old couple recommended another B & B to me. I found it on TripAdvisor. At that time, I thought the conditions were not good. Later, considering that we had to come back late every day in Hilo, the price of $60 a night was really cheap, For the sake of the wallet, I just ordered it.

It turns out that the conditions are not good enough. The tin house is not well ventilated and slightly stuffy. The frogs are crowing all night outside the house. The furnishings are simple and the breakfast is not rich. Milk, yogurt, cereal, jam and juice are standard. In addition, the bread and cake bought in the supermarket can't be compared with the breakfast in Europe, which is so rich that it can be used as lunch. The main reason is that there is no meat.

The advantage is that the location is very good. It's only a few steps away from the farmer's market. There are fast food restaurants and supermarkets nearby. It's ten minutes' drive from the airport. Besides, the host is very friendly and a baby is super cute.

We have a lot of activities in Hilo. We go out early and come back late every day. Only when we lie in the morning of the third day can we feel a little bit unaccustomed. Overall, the cost performance is good.

Kona hotel in Oshima stayed in Kona for only one night. It was very late to go back after diving at night, and they had to check out the next morning. So they didn't bother to look for more. They ordered an uncle Billy's Kona Bay Hotel on the Internet. It's a chain store, and there's also one in Hilo. It's a waste of money.

Maui's accommodation is my masterpiece. After several rounds of search and comparison, it has located an apartment called kulakane resort near Lahaina. Its location is not in Lahaina Town, but in the north of ka'anapali beach, close to honokowai Beach Park. The first two are public beaches, The lower honoapiilani Rd, where kulakane resort is located, is basically a private beach, because there are similar resorts on both sides of the road, so the beach is classified as a private territory. LG said the appearance of kulakane resort is the most beautiful of all apartments.

Back garden

Every room of the apartment will be displayed on the web page. I chose 213, which is green in tone. It's really small and fresh. The balcony faces the sea, and every day there is an invincible Pacific Sunset. In the balcony is the living room, kitchen and bathroom, with all kinds of facilities. The bedroom is in the innermost part, very quiet. There is a storage room behind the floor mirror, which has an iron, ironing board, ironing board Safe and so on, all the daily necessities you can use, and all the things you need to go to sea, including two reclining chairs!

What I like most is its complete set of kitchen facilities, including refrigerator and oven, pots and pans, knives, forks and cups, oil, salt, soy sauce and vinegar, hot water kettle, induction cooker, coffee pot, juicer, even kitchen paper, detergent and brand-new dishcloth!

On the day of arrival, the staff will kindly write a welcome speech on the whiteboard. Every day, there will be a sunset on the whiteboard. Every sunset, Abe, who is responsible for cleaning, will blow a conch in the garden to remind everyone to watch the sunset.

On the day we left, double rainbow saw us off

I found this apartment on TripAdvisor. At that time, there was a special summer price of $119, excluding tax, plus tax and cleaning fee of $152 per day, which was less than RMB 1000. In Maoyi Island, it should be more cost-effective. There was a guestbook in the room. After turning it over, most of them came from other states in the United States. Asians didn't, and they didn't see Asian faces in the six days there. So the aunt at the front desk was very warm and kind to us, saying "welcome, thank you".

It is particularly important to note that for every apartment you rent, you have to pay $85 for cleaning when you check out. If you don't have a special price and you don't have many days to live, the price may go up a lot.

As for the hotel on Oahu Island, it's the biggest mistake this time. The price of Pacific Beach Hotel, Samsung, is $120. After tax increase and $25 parking fee increase and $25 resort fee, it costs $190 a night. The room facilities are quite ordinary. When you suddenly come to a place where there is nothing from Maoyi's apartment, people are not good all of a sudden......

Maybe everyone likes to look for hotels at Waikiki Beach, which leads me to only pick Waikiki Beach when I searched for bid. But it turns out that if you rent a car, if you don't have to stay on the beach all day long, you have other plans, such as the small ring road and the big Ring Road PCC, If you are more willing to find a quiet and beautiful beach with fewer people than Waikiki like us, and if you are not a person who is keen to join in the fun, you can go wherever you want, then please stay away from Waikiki.

Speaking of the beach, ouhu has more beautiful beaches in the west, North and East than Waikiki. Speaking of shopping, in addition to the luxury shops, DFS and royal shopping center on Kalakaua ave, ouhu also has an ALA Moana shopping center, which not only has complete brands, but also free parking!!! Walmart, Sam and Ross are the back door of ALA Moana. From luxury goods to daily necessities to hand mail to discount stores, it's basically one-stop! Why do you have to stare at Waikiki? This is a problem that I can't understand from the time I just arrived at Ohu to the time I left Ohu until now.

However, I haven't studied the hotels in other areas of Ohu. If you want to bid, you can go to see the strategies by yourself. I believe you can find the Hotels with good quality and low price. At least you won't charge $25 for parking fee after you charge the rest fee like Pacific Beach Hotel.

appearance

Let's talk about car rental

First of all, I ruled out the possibility of having a bid on PL, because all the cars rented by the bid on PL are uninsured. If they are insured with all risks, the price will not have any advantage. In a previous post, I read a saying that there is no need for any insurance for car rental in Hawaii, because Chinese driving license is completely illegal in Hawaii.

I have reservations about this view. If there is a big car accident or a collision between two cars and the police are needed, it may involve the driver's license. But if it is just a small collision or a single car accident, what does this insurance have to do with the driver's license? In Maoyi, my LG had a small collision with a car at the entrance of the supermarket. Both sides didn't take it seriously and left with a wave. But when I returned the car, the inspector pointed out a scratch and asked LG to fill out a form to explain the situation. If there was no all risks insurance, more than 100 knives would not escape.

I'm a cautious person. I like to let LG drive without any burden. Although he has seven years of driving experience and rich self driving experience, he always neglects when parking and reversing. I think it's necessary to spend dozens of dollars to buy a rest assured car.

I rent a car on the following websites. Rentalcars is supposed to be a British car rental company. It charges pounds. The price of its Chinese and English web pages is different and irregular. It is actually the same company as traveljigsaw in Hong Kong. The credit card deduction shows rentalcars. There is a Chinese website called rentalcars, In fact, he is the agent of rentalcars in China, and the price is generally 20% to 30% higher than that of rentalcars. In addition, there is an economic rentals, a car rental company headquartered in Greece. The deposit is in Euro, which has two advantages compared with the above companies. One is that it only needs to pay a part of the deposit, and the rest of the balance will be paid when the car is picked up. The other is that the car ordered here does not need to buy the first tank of oil. As we all know, if the distance on the island is not far or the number of days to rent is not many, It's very likely that one tank of oil can't be used. The policy of mandatory purchase of the first tank of oil is too bad. These websites are car rental agents, which is also equivalent to blind shooting. You have to pay before you know which car rental company you're setting. However, the ones that show low prices are cheap companies like dollar, alomo and Nationale.

The website is as follows:

rentalcars

http://www.rentalcars.com/

Rentalcars Hong Kong agent

http://www.traveljigsaw.com.hk/

Greek company economic arrentals

http://www.economycarrentals.com/

There is also a carhire3000, which is recommended by many people in the jar

http://www.carhire3000.com/

You can search the time and model you want, and then choose the cheapest one. The price will be slightly different. All the cars you rent in Hawaii on these websites include all risks insurance.

Kaoai Island, rented in rentalcars, compact, 3 days, 96.05 pounds, dollar company. As a result, after waiting for an hour, it gave a Chevrolet to LG. LG was very dissatisfied with the car. Air conditioning and climbing could not coexist. However, when climbing in Waimea Canyon, he was still driving very high

Official start of travel notes

8.five

At 13:00 p.m., starting from Shanghai, Incheon made a connecting flight to Honolulu, and then to Lihue airport on Kauai Island. Because Honolulu flew to Lihue airport on Hawaiian Airlines, three hours of connecting time was reserved. Practice has proved that according to our connecting process, two hours is enough.

Arrived at Lihue airport at 15:00 p.m. and took a shuttle bus to dollar to pick up the car. The dollar of Kauai is the most unreliable of the four islands. It took more than half an hour to go through the formalities and wait for the car. Finally, it gave back a Chevrolet with obvious lack of power. However, sales said that wood has other cars and can only drive on the road.

The process of looking for the hotel was not smooth. Magicsunrise was on a very small road. The GPS positioning was wrong. I couldn't find the red sun door on the website and the number of the guard door was wrong. I forgot that it was in the United States. I tried to get out of the car and ask someone about it. But before I got close to a house, a little dog rushed out of the yard, He barked at me fiercely and chased me with all his hooves. For a moment, I was scared out of my wits and would only scream and run back. As a result, he ran out for 20 meters with four legs, two legs, one dog and one person! Fat man in the car directly stunned, despised him, wait for the dog not to chase, he also recovered, I also escaped the car, this goods actually praise me, said running faster than the dog!

After a fright, I refused to get off again. The fat man had to back the car out. As a result, when I went out to have a look, I found the sign that was too small to see clearly. It turned out that we should turn left on the next road......

When we arrived at the hotel, we checked in and paid the full amount. The landlord took us up and down to look around, moved our luggage into the house, and then we went to the Safeway. The membership card in the United States and the West during the Spring Festival could be used again. However, because of the nearly 24-hour flight, we were all so sleepy that we got some breakfast drinks for tomorrow, In the next panda fast food, I bought two boxed meals and came back.

Back to the hotel at 7:00, it's empty! The two of us found a big circle around the public area. There were no owners or other residents. Except for two cats, many birds, many unknown insects and many mosquitoes, there were only two living creatures... Although a little scared, sleepiness finally conquered fear. We comforted ourselves that no one was safe. After eating two mouthfuls of lunch, we washed and went to bed. We had no dream all night...

I hate it

8.six

At 6:30 in the morning, I wake up in the gentle birdsong, breathing the fresh air, overlooking the green, eating the juice bread, ham and cheese I bought yesterday, and my mood is automatically adjusted to the state of vacation.

This morning's plan is to go snorkeling in Kee beach, all the way along the East Coast Highway 56 northward, and then along the 560 westbound until the end of the road, which is the most suitable Kee beach for snorkeling in the strategy. Before arriving at Kee beach at the north end of highway 560, there is a haaena beach which is more suitable for parking. There is not only a super large parking lot, but also a shower Clothes changing room, these perfect health facilities, continue to move forward is an original parking lot, potholes, parking easy to scratch chassis, with shower and toilet, and further forward is Kee beach, where there are quite few parking spaces, and there are no facilities except a lifeguard. To shower and change clothes, you have to walk back to the original parking lot.

We drove all the way to the end and found that there was no place to park. Then we turned back to the original parking lot, scraped the chassis all the way in, carried all our belongings and went to kee beach to start snorkeling. Because they both had poor swimming skills, they only dared to swim all the way along the reef, so there were not many fish to see, and the coral near the shore was basically dead, There is no comparison with the seabed of Southeast Asia. But the sea is very clear, and calm, suitable for beginners.

This morning's snorkeling can be regarded as a small test of the ox's knife. After soaking in the sea for a long time, he was in a good mood and his stomach was growling. The fat man took a fancy to the Safeway's steak. When he got home, he bought lunch and dinner. At noon, he roasted a steak and got a salad. It was a convenient and simple meal, but the taste was very good. The quality of American steak was really good. A little salt, a little black pepper, 250 degree roast for six minutes, It's fragrant and tender. It's completely original.

This time in a hotel with a kitchen, we basically haven't been to a restaurant. First, we prefer primitive cooking. Second, we really can't get used to American Western food. It's likely to be fooled to find a hotel only by relying on the Internet and strategies. Third, it's economical to do it by ourselves.

Life Is Elsewhere

In the afternoon, I took a nap, got up and went on. I went along Highway 50 to Waimea Town, then turned to highway 550 and entered Waimea Canyon. For us who just came back from the United States for the new year, this small Canyon is like a kindergarten child compared with the Grand Canyon, but on such a small lonely volcanic island, it is also a miracle of nature. The highlight of the afternoon is the Kalalau lookout at the end of highway 550, overlooking the world's most spectacular natural landscape, the Na Pali coast. There is a gap in the road around Kauai Island. To the east of the gap is highway 56, which connects with Kee beach, to the west is Highway 50, which connects with kekaha beach, and in the middle is the magnificent Napali coastline. There are only three ways to get close to or get a glimpse of it: hiking, canoeing, and helicopter. The Kalalau viewing platform is the end that can be reached by cars, and can only be viewed from afar, The scenery is already very spectacular, with thousands of walls and the same color of sea and sky.

There are many hiking trails here, but they are not in my plan

It's getting late when you get out of the canyon. Fortunately, the fat man is driving very fast. He has time to go round the 552 highway farther west and drive all the way to the Poipu beach to watch the sunset. Because of the lack of time, he basically chases the sunset and has no time to find a big parking lot. Just stop at a lookout. There's a hotel opposite the bay. What kind of activities are he holding, It's hilarious.

In the evening, when I go back to the hotel for dinner, the seafood in Safeway is very fresh. There are also shrimp, green dragon king crab, boiled water and fruit cheese cake, which are super delicious

Today's plan is to drive to the north end of the island, hiking and snorkeling, because kaoai island has big waves in the South and snorkeling in the north in summer.

I got up a little late. When I got to kee beach, I had to park on the side of the road. Although there were no parking signs on the side of the road, the supply of parking spaces was in short supply for many years. Everyone stopped on the side of the road, and there was no police to manage them. When we left in the afternoon, there was a car that kept trying to stop but failed to come back. It was a great joy to have a car waiting for us.

The highlight of the morning is the famous Kalalau Trail Hiking. It is said that this trail, which can be traced back to 1800, is often used by aborigines in that year. It starts from Kee beach, crosses five valleys along the Napali coast in the middle, shuttles between shrubs, rainforests, waterfalls and streams, and ends at Kalalau beach, 11 miles one way. Of course, we can only choose the one with the lowest difficulty coefficient. As a result, the fat man decided to take the 2 miles of hanakapi'ai beach when he saw that the shortest one was only 0.25 miles.

entrance

It's quite easy to walk along the road. The slope is a little bit, but it's not very big. Unlike some domestic "scenic spots", there are built steps, but it's not difficult to walk. Generally, when you walk to the panting, you can have a viewing platform or something to rest. You can basically see the deep blue water below, the winding coastline, and some strange plants on the roadside that you have never seen before, In a kind of Qiu Zhang's way to stretch posture, the appearance of open teeth and claws is full of vitality. We started walking at 9 o'clock, and we didn't arrive at hanakapi'ai beach at 11 o'clock. Don't despise me. This is probably the best result I can hand in. I never passed the long-distance race when I was studying. When I was resting, the fat man went to explore the front and came back to say that it should be almost there, but the front section was completely covered by trees. In the past, the beach was close in front of me, but if he wanted to go down, he had to go down a long mountain road. There were no plants to cover the hot sun. That was the warm noon sun of Hawaii! Without wearing any sunscreen, I was already sweating. I immediately decided to go back the same way. The fat man wanted to continue walking, but he was embarrassed to chew bread on the side of the road, so he had to follow me back. The road of turning back is obviously much faster. Except for a few slippery stones caused by the flow of mountain springs, there are basically no other problems. Along the way, I met a foreigner who was just starting out and was going to camp for two days. I had the cheek to pretend that I had come back from a long journey and said hello happily.

Walking down the mountain and back to kee beach, there were more people than yesterday morning, but they were still quiet. They went to the car to get their snorkeling belongings and lunch. They found a place on the beach to spread out and chewed a delicious sandwich. After a short rest, they started their afternoon snorkeling trip. This time we swam a little further towards the direction of haaena beach, where the corals seemed to have a little bit of life, and there were a little more fish. I also saw a strange fish that I didn't have time to photograph last year in corona. An uncle brought a big bag of fish to eat, which caused a group of pomfret and bream to steal food. I followed him to take a picture.

The sea water of Kee beach is clear and clean

Snorkeling is actually very physical. In the morning, we climbed the mountain and pedaled our legs in the afternoon. We were very tired when we swam to more than 3 o'clock. We picked up our things and went ashore. When I changed my clothes in the bathroom and came out, the fat man told me that there was a girl who helped us to send the camera back, @ @ ￥%... Nani?! I left my underwater camera on the beach?! The fat man despised me, the black sheep of my family, and highly praised the American girl for her money. You know, beach is a long way from the bathroom. Our luck is really good. Fortunately, there is a group photo taken by ourselves in the camera. Fortunately, there are only two oriental faces on the beach. Thank God. Of course, we should also thank the lovely simple people who live in the troubled capitalist society.

I couldn't help falling asleep on the way home, leaving the poor fat man fighting alone. Not far from the hotel, there is a lookout of Wailua river. Thinking about leaving tomorrow, stop and have a look. There is also a small waterfall with the same amount of water as tears... The kayak tour of Wailua river is also a highlight of Kauai Island, but we are not interested in it.

Dinner is usually served with Baijiu, fried peas, and delicious cheese cake.

Today, I have to stop Honolulu and fly to Hilo, big island. The connecting time is because of go! It's been a long flight change......

In the morning, I checked out and strolled around the beaches with all my luggage. I went to Poipu again to see the tide gushing. Then I went to kappa. I found that there were so few visitors to kaoai. I took some photos in kappa beach. It was still early. I decided to go to the Mac's next to the airport for a walk. As a result, the losers got a pair of D & G Sunglasses with cabbage price and had a fat Da snack, Go to the airport with satisfaction to return the car and check in.

GO！ Our plane is not big, similar to Hawaii airlines, but there is no juice or map. Although Honolulu's terminal has WiFi, it needs to pay for it, like $8.99 for 2 hours, $14.99 for 8 hours, and $24.99 for 24 hours (the price memory is probably inaccurate). We endured not to surf the Internet, relying on movies, novels and music to kill a few hours of turnaround.

It's 8 p.m. when I arrived at Hilo airport, I was ready to wait in a long line to pick up the rotten cars. I didn't expect that the staff of dollar would be so efficient. They would arrive in a short time. They bought the first tank of oil and refused all insurance promotion. The staff gave me a black Nissan. At first, the fat man was dissatisfied with its power, but later he had to be deeply convinced by its super fuel saving performance.

8.nine

I got up at 6:30 in the morning, had breakfast at 7:00, and arrived at Hilo airport at 7:30 to take part in the 8:30 helicopter tour to watch the volcano. This is the activity I decided to take part in after reading the post of great Xia fieldyang 2009. Unfortunately, February this year is the big island volcano season. When we went to August, we couldn't see the fire dragon on the ground at the height of the helicopter, The lava into the sea is just a long and thin one. In the photo, it's just for everyone to find fault.

However, the experience of seeing an active volcano by helicopter is quite rare. We are participating in paradise, which is the only helicopter company with doors and windows removed in big island. It is more suitable for students who like photography.

When doing the strategy, I saw a very detailed Big Island helicopter strategy in a post. Because it's not easy to put the outer chain here, I can only copy the original text. I hereby declare that.

B)Paradise Helicopter：

Paradise helicopter is the most distinctive and courageous helicopter tour company in Hawaii Island. There are not many helicopters under the company, and there are many small helicopters, including five seats. He attracted me most, and the reason why I decided to explore with paradise was that he was the only one who allowed all the doors and windows to be removed, so that I could watch and photograph the spectacular lava without any obstacles. Of course, sometimes you have to pay a lot, such as the sun and rain, acrophobia and so on. All reservations can be made online, paid and inquired.

E) Fixed wing Iolani air:

If you have more wishes, you want to tour the whole island of Hawaii, and you also want to see the cliffs and waterfalls in the north of the big island. So I suggest you choose fixed wing aircraft to fly. Because the fixed wing aircraft flying fast, suitable for long-distance flight, and comfortable, but less ornamental, but cheap, but also a good flying viewing tool.

In addition, I found several websites when I was doing my homework. Now I add them

Sunshinehelicopters, which is also a helicopter chain, but their trip to the volcano is very expensive. For lava flow, Kilauea and Kohala mountains, waterfalls and rainforests, open sailing costs 510 yuan, first class 585 yuan, and the model is Whistler star.

http://www.sunshinehelicopters.com/hawaii/tours/hawaii.html

There are also two Maoyi helicopter companies. Post them here together

http://www.helitour.com/

http://www.airmaui.com/

There is also a Kauai family. It's also a wonderful activity for Kauai Island to see Napali coastline and Waimea Canyon by helicopter.

http://www.helicopters-kauai.com/

There is also an agent. They are the project agents of different tourism companies in Ohu, Dadao, Maoyi and kaoai. They have a wide range of projects, from helicopters to cruise ships to bicycles to hiking, canoeing, fishing and diving. They do almost everything, which is much cheaper than going to the official website. I contacted their customer service, and the attitude was very good, but because they didn't have the separate volcano helicopter of paradise, we didn't order it at his home. You can see if they have it on their website.

When I arrived at Hilo International Airport in the early morning, I should not drive to the drop off point. I need to find the parking lot, park the car, find the counter of paradise, weigh myself first and watch a movie about volcanoes. I was sleepy when I saw the movie in poor English, but LG was in high spirits. I can't help throwing cold water on him. Do you think I can see the big eruption on the screen...

On the 8:30 flight this morning, besides us, there was a couple from Australia. Both men and women were as heavy as fat people, which directly led to the cup set in the back. Because I was the thinnest, I was placed in No.1, which was next to the driver. Dear students, When you hear that you are number one, don't be as happy as I am, because you have to sit a number two on your right! I can't believe the tragedy when the fat man is crammed into the seat next to me!!! Can you imagine two normal airplane seats stuffed with three adults???

Along the way, my camera is like a decoration, because there will always be strange things in my lens, such as fat man's arm, driver's joystick, engine room door frame, console and even our own shoes. But poor fat man, his right arm has been protruding outside, and he was hurt by the wind, so when he went down to the ground, fat paper, who was always happy, was not happy, He told me haughtily that he was not satisfied with their arrangement at all, so he decided not to tip! I took a peek at the big Australian couple who occupied the spacious seats in the back. We could take pictures of them as we wanted. We envied them and found that they didn't give tips! So I went away with the fat paper.

The route of the helicopter is to go to Kilauea first, but there is no trace of lava flow in August, only smoke transpiration, and then to see lava flow where lava flows into the sea. Remember to bring a telephoto lens! Don't take a sudden brain cramp like me, take a wide-angle head up, finally go to see a few small waterfalls, go back to the airport from Hilo Bay, and it's over.

At that time, I sat so well that I thought this was my seat alone. It was so silly and naive!

After leaving the field, he went back to the hotel. Because it was not a weekend or a Wednesday, farmer's market only sold flowers and hand-made soap. So he went to the supermarket next to B & B to buy water and food, and then went straight to the volcano park. He arrived before 11 o'clock with a ticket of $10 per car. He lamented the economic benefits of a car of six people during the new year and began to visit the volcano park.

First go to Jaggar Museum, which is the only place in the volcano park where we can see active volcanoes. Unfortunately, we don't have time to see the fire in the evening.

Then I got off at Kilauea overlook, steam vents, and Kilauea IKI overlook. There were many trails for tourists to hike along the way. I could only show my respect to the knights who sweated in the hot sun, and killed my lunch, some Porphyra rice balls and fish tofu at Kilauea IKI overlook, There are also big island pineapples with sour taste. Besides, I really don't like Hawaiian pineapples, including the most authentic Tule pineapple called by Ohu. If I eat two pieces, my tongue will feel numb. It's far inferior to the eyeless pineapple in Xishuangbanna!

After a dry lunch, turn back to Thurston lava tube, which is a natural lava flow cave. It's very short. The rhythm of a few steps, but the ferns at both ends of the cave are very beautiful.

At about 12 o'clock after the cave came out, we started the crater road chain of Craters Road, and drove all the way north to Xiangbi mountain. The scenery of this section is extremely magnificent. On both sides of the road are the black oil lava like curly hemp flowers. After ten thousand years of eruption and condensation, it is still growing and growing up. Large green plants emerge from the lava crevices, At the end of the road is the boundless ocean. In such a vast and boundless nature, people will involuntarily worship the great power of nature and the desperate vitality. Here, the picture can capture less than one tenth of the scenery that the eye can see, because it's so vast. All the way, when the lookouts stop, the wind is so strong that it almost blows people away. Here are the ears of the deaf and the eyes of the blind.

All the way north to the famous "elephant trunk mountain", where the waves of the Pacific ocean wave after wave hit the lava cliff, never ending. The wind on the cliff bank made my head ache. After a while, I wanted to leave early, in case I couldn't find the way by then, but the fat m
