The Complete Guide to Visiting Hanauma Bay in Hawaii

It is the preferred park for diving and professional swimming in the United States, because of the curved shape that the volcano gives it. A very busy beach that quickly fills your parking lot, so it will be better to arrive by public transport.

Hanauma Bay Beach Park has bars, souvenir shops and locals where they rent water sports equipment.

Rainbow Falls

Rainbow Falls is one of the most gorgeous waterfalls on Big Island, named after a rainbow that is usually formed over the gushing cascade on bright early mornings. The wide falls cascade from 80 ft high into a lava cave below, all set within a leafy forest. The magical view draws photographers and makes it one of the most Instagrammable spots on the island.

Pu’uhonua O Honaunau National Historical Park

For a quick history fix, make your way to Pu’uhonua o Honaunau on the west coast of the island, about 40 minutes from Kailua-Kona. Upon breaking the sacred laws of the Gods, indigenous Hawaiians would flee to this “refuge place” to seek forgiveness from a priest, thus avoiding the death penalty in their home village.

The site features a collection of solid stone and wood carved sculptures that look spectacular upon a backdrop of powdery white sand.
