Rainbow Falls is located in the west of Hilo City on the Big Island. It is famous for the beautiful rainbow formed by the water mist of the waterfall refracted by sunlight. Rainbow Falls is about 24.4 meters high, and it is very different from the surrounding layers of verdant tropical plants. Rainbow Falls is one of the few waterfalls in the Hawaiian Islands with no dry season, and if you come here after a rain, standing on a nearby bridge can hear the deafening sound of the falls echoing through the dense jungle.Hilo · 18.2km from Mountain View

Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Parkis located in the southern part of Hawaii island and is a unique natural area shaped by volcanic activity. The park centers on two active volcanoes, Kīlauea and Mauna Loa, extending from the summit of Mauna Loa at over 4,000m down to the Pacific coast, creating a diverse landscape ranging from alpine areas, rainforests, and deserts to lava coasts. The park also features the famous Nāhuku Lava Tube, a natural tunnel formed by the cooling of ancient lava flows. Visitors can walk through it to observe the hollow structure left behind by lava that once flowed through the mountain and experience the power of volcanic activity in shaping the land.Hawaii island · 38.1km from Mountain View

To the east of the Crater Link intersection is a rainforest on the windward slopes of Kilauea filled with native tree ferns and myrtle trees. It is at the end of a trail that passes through a forest of myrtle trees. The lava channel itself is wide and forms when the surface layer of the lava flow begins to harden while the lava below is still flowing. After the inner lava flow dries up, the outer crust remains. There are many lava passages on East Hawaii, and this is one of the larger ones. After walking a lighted road, there is still a long section behind, so it is better to bring a flashlight.Hawaii island · 20.7km from Mountain View

Maui is known as the "Valley Isle" due to its landscape of alternating valleys and coastlines. The island is warm year-round, and coastal areas are suitable for water activities in all seasons; however, if you plan to ascend to the summit of Haleakalā for sunrise in the early morning, the altitude is approx. 3,000 meters, and the temperature is significantly lower. The island's highlights are focused on natural scenery: the eastern Haleakalā National Park extends from the alpine zone to the coast, and the dormant volcanic crater at the summit, with its desolate, moon-like landscape, is a classic spot for watching the sunrise above the clouds; the Hana Hwy on the north coast winds between rainforests and sea cliffs, with sharp turns, one-lane bridges, waterfalls, and black sand beaches along the way—a self-drive trip here is like a rainforest adventure in itself. If you want to get in the water, you can take a boat to the crescent-shaped Molokini Crater not far offshore; this marine preserve has clear water and schools of tropical fish, making it a popular spot for snorkeling and diving. Kaanapali in the west and Wailea in the south are known for their long white sand beaches and resort atmosphere, which are perfect for sunbathing and surfing. There are also long-standing traditions to experience on the island: every day at sunset, a cliff-diving ceremony takes place at Black Rock at the north end of Kaanapali Beach, where divers light torches and leap into the sea—a scene many tourists wait specifically to see. Every winter, humpback whales return in groups to the warm waters around the island to breed and raise their young, and you have a chance to see them breaching from the shore or a whale-watching boat. If you want a change of pace, you can also visit the Iao Valley in the west, where the valley is lush and green, and the iconic Iao Needle rises abruptly, making it suitable for a relaxing short hike.United States · Kula

All the plants in the garden are marked with English names, Latin scientific names and names of the countries of origin. You can appreciate various tropical plants and learn about their characteristics.Hawaii island · 28.4km from Mountain View

Akaka Falls State Park, located in Hawaii, USA, is named after the Akaka Falls in the park. Wild orchids, bamboo forests and ferns grow in the park. Tourists can also admire Kahuna Falls, which is very beautiful with lush flowers and plants around the falls. Not far away is Akaka Falls, which is 442 feet high and hangs on the cliff like a huge water curtain. The crystal water droplets beat the stones in the pool below the waterfall from time to time, which is very rhythmic.Hawaii island · 33.4km from Mountain View

The Halemaʻumaʻu Crater, located inside the Kilauea crater, is the park's iconic landmark. This massive crater is approximately 800 meters in diameter and 300 meters deep, constantly emitting steam, and its appearance is particularly breathtaking at night. Visitors can admire the crater from the nearby Kilauea Visitor Center and the Thomas Jagger Museum's observation deck, and learn about volcanic activity and Hawaiian culture. Due to the high altitude, windy conditions, and significant temperature variations, a jacket is recommended even in summer.

Among the several parks we visited in Hawaii, our favorite one is the Hidden Park, except for the Honolulu Park. There is a part of the park that is a Japanese-style garden, which may be related to the fact that there are many Japanese people in Hawaii.

The Hawaii Orchid Garden is located on the Big Island, not far from Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. After seeing the wonders of nature's magma and the sea, look at the gentle flowers cultivated by scientists. The contrast between the two is huge. I am not an expert, so I don't know which species is rare, but they are all very beautiful, and some flower shapes and colors have never been seen before. Some are for sale, while some can only be seen but not bought. There are some flowers in a basket at the door, and you can take one and wear it on your chest. The refrigerator magnets sold in the gift shop inside are very beautiful, mostly in orchid shapes.

If you visit at Big Island at Hawaii, don't miss this point  "Volcano National Park". Recently, if you go to parking lot after google map searching with "Devastration Trail" and walk around 20 minutes, then you can see Lava!! Attatched photo is taken on April 2022 this year.Tip, if you visit here daytime, you can't see lava clearly. Please stay here after sunset.

The sea around Maui was an unrealistically blue, with waves crashing against the rocks and splashing white foam. Wild pheasants swaggered across the road, and cars stopped to wait for them. The Hana Highway wound its way along the cliff edge, making my palms sweat, and I stopped seven or eight times to watch the waterfalls and rainbows. While snorkeling, I was startled to see a green sea turtle slowly sliding past me. At night, I could hear the waves from my cabin, and when I looked up, the sky was filled with stars, so dense it was almost frightening. Time moved at a leisurely pace; even the cats lay lazily by the roadside.

Akaka Falls Park is a state park on the island of Hawaii. The waterfall plunges 133 meters into a deep pool. The surrounding area is warm and humid, and the air is fresh but also contains some plant fragrance. It is the theme and natural scenery of the entire park. It is worth seeing.
