History of Hawaii’s<br />

Big Island<br />

The Big Island is the youngest among the islands<br />

of Hawaii. It is only half a million years old. The<br />

Big Island is said to have been first discovered<br />

by travelers from the Marquesas Islands of the<br />

Polynesian region. This was only about one<br />

thousand five hundred (1,500) years ago.<br />

Westerners began coming into the island when<br />

Captain Cook landed in 1778. After a year, the<br />

captain was killed at Kealakekua Bay by tribal<br />

warriors. Regardless, he opened the door for<br />

other travelers to set foot and settle in the island.<br />

At around this time, the Big Island had several<br />

political divisions (or chiefdoms). These chiefdoms<br />

were constantly at war, until they were united in<br />

1791. The unification of the Big Island tribes was<br />

due to the efforts of Kamehameha, who hailed<br />

from Kohala. He ruled the Big Island as king until<br />

1804. After that year, he moved to Oahu, only to<br />

return to the island in 1812, seven years before<br />

he died. Kamehameha is credited as the greatest<br />

king to rule Hawaii.<br />

Western religions first came into the Big Island<br />

in 1820. This was through the efforts of the first<br />

missionaries in the island. They landed in Kailua-Kona, where they<br />

first began their missionary work.<br />

This was followed by other Western travelers. Some of the early<br />

voyagers introduced cattle and sugar into the local agriculture.<br />

This was the roots of Parker Ranch, perhaps one of the oldest and<br />

definitely one of the largest cattle ranches in the Big Island. Sugar<br />

plantations also found a home, later on blooming into one of the<br />

prime industries of Hilo.<br />

To date, the Big Island is at the forefront of Hawaiian industry and<br />

culture. The island’s rich culture and history is now the backdrop<br />

of a very active tourism industry. At the same time, much of the<br />

island’s ancient practices are kept alive because of the modern<br />

traveler’s interest in them.<br />

Kailua Kona<br />

Kailua Kona is referred to both as “Kailua” and “Kona” by locals.<br />

The weather on this side of the Big Island is almost always dry and<br />

sunny and there are many white sand beaches perfect for sunbathing,<br />

snorkeling and swimming that are easy to reach from Kona.<br />

Kailua Kona is located where the western slopes of the Hualālai<br />

volcano meet the ocean. North of the city were the weather gets dryer<br />

you can find gorgeous beaches, the resort coast, and world- famous<br />

golf courses. South of Kona you can find our favorite snorkeling spots.<br />

The climate here is more humid and perfect for lush forests and for<br />

growing the world-famous Kona coffee.<br />

The sunny outdoors capital of the Big Island<br />

The west coast of Hawaii is known as the “Kona<br />

Side” and Kailua-Kona is the lively center of it<br />

all. This historic seaside town sits in the middle<br />

of the Kona coast, a few miles south of the Kona<br />

International Airport. Not too long ago Kona<br />

was a sleepy fishing village. Now, because of<br />

its central location and great weather it has<br />

transformed into a lively town that is the activity<br />

capital of the Big Island. It is the city on the Big<br />

Island that is best equipped for tourism.<br />

There are many shops and farmers markets<br />

selling locally produced items and there is a<br />

good offering of restaurants. This makes Kona<br />

a good and central home base to explore the<br />

west coast of the island. Relax and look at the<br />

waves crashing over the black lava rocks while<br />

sipping from a cup of the world-famous Kona<br />

coffee, or have some freshly caught ahi (tuna)<br />

while recovering from your busy day.<br />

Things to do in Kona<br />

Kona is the hot spot for sunny outdoor adventures<br />

here on the Big Island.<br />

SNORKEL<strong>IN</strong>G AT THE <strong>KONA</strong> COAST<br />

The Kona coast has hands down the best places<br />

on the Big Island to go snorkeling. Our favorite<br />

snorkeling spots are south of Kona, at less than a<br />

1-hour drive from central Kona. However, there is<br />

even good snorkeling to be found in downtown<br />

Kona, at the Kailua pier.<br />

It’s easy to rent snorkeling gear in Kona if you<br />

didn’t bring your own.<br />

PERFECT SUNSETS FROM THE <strong>KONA</strong> COAST<br />

Since the sun always sets in the west, the Kona<br />

(west) coast of the island is the place to see<br />

sunsets.<br />

Seeing the sun set below the ocean is one of our<br />

favorite parts of the day. It’s up to you to choose<br />

whether you want to see this from the beach<br />

or for from a seaside terrace holding a Mai Tai.<br />

Regardless, sunsets here are pretty spectacular.<br />

MANTA RAY NIGHT DIVE<br />

The one activity that is a must-do on the Kona<br />

side is the manta ray night dive. This is a nightly<br />

diving or snorkeling excursion where enormous<br />

and harmless manta rays are attracted by shining<br />

a big light onto the water. You can float between<br />

them as they play and feed and come so close<br />

that you could touch them if you wanted to.<br />

You do not have to be a scuba diver to see the<br />

manta rays. If you join a snorkeling tour very little<br />

experience is needed, and you still will get to see<br />

a very big part of the show.<br />

RELAX ON THE <strong>KONA</strong> BEACHES<br />

Mauna Kea beach and Hapuna beach are two<br />

of the most popular white sand beaches on the<br />

west side of the Big Island, but there are more<br />

beaches to explore. Don’t forget to pick up some<br />

snorkeling sets at the local supermarket to bring<br />

along with you, because everywhere where there<br />

is water you can snorkel. Many of the snorkeling<br />

spots around Kailua Kona can be found in our<br />

favorite snorkeling spots on the Big Island.<br />

<strong>KONA</strong> COFFEE<br />

The slopes of the volcanoes around Kona are<br />

home to the world famous Kona coffee, so if you<br />

are into coffee try to visit a Kona coffee farm. You<br />

can of course also get a fresh cup of Kona coffee<br />

in town If you are not that much into coffee but<br />

still want to know what all the fuzz is about.<br />

One of our favorite scenic drives takes you<br />

through the heart of the Kona coffee country.<br />

AKAKA FALLS / KAHUNA FALLS<br />

Anyone holidaying on the Big Island really should to try and drag themselves away from the<br />

glorious sandy beaches and explore just some of the many spectacular natural landmarks<br />

which are scattered all around Hawaii. The Akaka Falls is one such site and this enormous<br />

cascade of water is more than 134 metres / 440 feet in height, making it the second-highest<br />

waterfall on the island, and importantly, the most accessible. Located just 18 km / 11 miles<br />

north of Hilo and on the north-eastern side of the island, the Akaka Falls is one waterfall that<br />

you will be glad you found. Close by, if you have time, do also check out some of the other<br />

neighboring waterfalls, such as the Kahuna Falls, which although smaller, is still very quite<br />

special. The 6-km / 4-mile Pepeekeo Scenic Drive between Honomu and Hilo is also worth<br />

considering.<br />

HULIHEE PALACE<br />

Built during the early 19th century out of locally<br />

sourced lava rock, Hulihee Palace is located<br />

within the Kailua-Kona area of the Big Island<br />

and off Alii Drive. The impressive landmark<br />

was once used by Hawaiian royalty as a holiday<br />

home, although today operates as a museum<br />

/ attraction. Hulihee Palace is now filled with<br />

memorabilia relating to its past regal residents,<br />

which include King Kalakaua, who gave the<br />

palace the new title of ‘Hikulani Hale’ after<br />

himself, since this literally translates as the<br />

‘House of the Seventh Leader’. During the Big<br />

Island’s earthquake of 2006, the Hulihee Palace<br />

suffered minor structural damage, although<br />

this was little more than cracks in some of the<br />

walls, with a renovation project soon resolving<br />

the problems.<br />

Puʻuhonua o Hōnaunau National Historical Park<br />

Is a United States National Historical Park located on<br />

the west coast of the island of Hawai´i in the U.S. state of<br />

Hawai´i. The historical park preserves the site where, up until<br />

the early 19th century, Hawaiians who broke a kapu (one of<br />

the ancient laws) could avoid certain death by fleeing to<br />

this place of refuge or pu´uhonua. The offender would be<br />

absolved by a priest and freed to leave. Defeated warriors<br />

and non-combatants could also find refuge here during<br />

times of battle. The grounds just outside the Great Wall that<br />

encloses the pu´uhonua were home to several generations<br />

of powerful chiefs.<br />

The 420 acre (1.7 km2) site was originally established in 1955<br />

as City of Refuge National Historical Park and was renamed<br />

on November 10, 1978. In 2000 the name was changed by<br />

the Hawaiian National Park Language Correction Act of 2000<br />

observing the Hawaiian spelling. It includes the pu´uhonua<br />

and a complex of archeological sites including: temple<br />

platforms, royal fishponds, sledding tracks, and some coastal<br />

village sites. The Hale o Keawe temple and several thatched<br />

structures have been reconstructed.<br />

Hale´o Keawe heiau<br />

The park contains a reconstruction of the Hale o Keawe heiau,<br />

which was originally built by a Kona chief named Kanuha in<br />

honor of his father King Keawe´īkekahiali´iokamoku. After<br />

the death of Keawe´īkekahiali´iokamoku, his bones were<br />

entombed within the heiau. The nobility (ali’i) of Kona<br />

continued to be buried until the abolition of the kapu system.<br />

The last person buried here was a son of Kamehameha I in<br />

1818.<br />

It was believed that additional protection to the place of<br />

refuge was received from the mana in the bones of the<br />

chiefs. It survived several years after other temples were<br />

destroyed. It was looted by Lord George Byron (cousin of the<br />

distinguished English poet) in 1825. In 1829, High Chiefess<br />

Kapi´olani removed the remaining bones and hid them in the<br />

Pali Kapu O Keōua cliffs above nearby Kealakekua Bay. She<br />

then ordered this last temple to be destroyed. The bones<br />

were later moved to the Royal Mausoleum of Hawaii in 1858.<br />

Big Island: Essential Facts<br />

Learn these Big Island factoids and you will know more than most on your dream Hawaii vacation:<br />

• The Big Island of Hawaii is the youngest of the Hawaiian Islands, at just over one million years old. In fact, the daily lava<br />

flow keeps the island growing larger every day.<br />

• Hawaii is the name of the island as well as the state. To reduce confusion, the single island “Hawaii” is referred to as the<br />

“Big Island” (because it’s so big compared to other islands in the chain).<br />

• Earth’s most active volcano, Kilauea, is on the Big Island.<br />

• Mauna Loa, which last erupted in 1984, is the most massive mountain on earth, consists of 10,000 cubic miles of rock, and<br />

is 13,677 feet high.<br />

• The Big Island is 4,038 square miles (and still growing). All the other Hawaiian Islands could fit inside the Big Island with<br />

room left over.<br />

• From the southern tip to the northern tip the distance is 95 miles. From east to west it is 80 miles.<br />

• In the 1850s, John Palmer Parker and his Hawaiian princess wife amassed land to form Parker Ranch, which today sprawls<br />

225,000 acres and is two-thirds the size of the island of Oahu.<br />

• In 1946, a 56-foot tsunami hit the east side of the island.<br />

• In 1981, the Ironman Triathlon moved from Oahu to Kona.<br />

• The Big Island has the most diverse weather of any Hawaiian Island, including tropical, monsoonal, desert, and permafrost.<br />

• Just below the summit of Mauna Kea, inside a cinder cone, is Lake Waiau, the only glacial lake in the mid-Pacific. At 13,020<br />

feet above sea level, it is also one of the highest lakes in the world.<br />

• Hawaii Standard Time is in effect year-round. There is no daylight savings time. Hawaii is 2 hours behind Pacific Standard<br />

Time and 5 hours behind Eastern Standard Time. When daylight savings time is in effect on the mainland, Hawaii is 3 hours<br />

behind the West Coast and 6 hours behind the East Coast.<br />

and volcanic craters all the way down to the ocean where<br />

the road finally disappears under a fresh sheet of lava (description<br />

of the crater rim drive tour on the national park<br />

website). The chain of craters road is one of our favorite<br />

scenic drives of the Big Island. The ranger station on the<br />

Chain of Craters Road is open daily from 10 am to 9 pm.<br />

Day hikes in the park:<br />

There are more than 10 day hikes possible inside the park<br />

for which you can find a description at the park website.<br />

The 100+ miles of hiking trails take you through old lava<br />

tubes and lush rainforest, and over old and new, still fuming,<br />

lava flows. The park also organizes daily ranger-led<br />

hikes.<br />

If you are looking for longer and more challenging hikes a<br />

good place to start is the Big Island Hikes website.<br />

The Volcano Art Center Gallery:<br />

is located directly next to the Kilauea Visitor Center and<br />

is open from 9:00 a.m to 5:00 p.m. daily. More info on the<br />

Volcano Art Center here.<br />

The Sulphur Banks trail:<br />

The sulphur banks are an impressive reminder of the volcanic<br />

activity in the park because of the volcanic gases<br />

that seep out of the ground along with groundwater<br />

colorful mineral deposits and the smell of sulfur<br />

(think: rotting eggs) in the air.<br />

The see the sulphur banks you need to hike the<br />

easy 1.2 miles (2 km) round trip Ha’akulamanu<br />

far left of the Kīlauea Visitor Center parking lot<br />

past the Volcano Art Center Gallery.<br />

Special activities for kids<br />

Children up to 12 years old can become junior<br />

rangers and receive a junior ranger badge. To<br />

become a junior ranger the kids have to complete<br />

a couple of activities while in the park. This<br />

is a free, fun and educational activity and we<br />

highly recommend it if you bring any children.<br />

There are programs for kids aged 7-12, and for<br />

those of age 6 and below.<br />

More information including junior ranger handbooks<br />

which you can print out at home can be<br />

found at the ‘be a junior ranger‘ website.<br />

There is so much to do in the park that many<br />

people choose to spend at least one night in or<br />

close to the park. There are two campsites in the<br />

park as well as a hotel whose lounge offers stunning<br />

views of the Halema’uma’u crater. There<br />

also mare many charming and affordable vacation<br />

rental houses available in a few miles from<br />

the park in Volcano Village.<br />

Overnight camping is possible in the park on two<br />

separate campgrounds, one of which also has<br />

tent rentals and cabins available. The park hotel<br />

combines a great location with average and<br />

somewhat pricey rooms and is called the Volcano<br />

House (website) .<br />

If you are an active service member or have<br />

served in the US military you can also stay in the<br />

Kilauea Military Center (KMC, website). The KMC<br />

is located inside the park and offers 90 guest<br />

cottages and apartments with one, two, or three<br />

bedrooms, and a 110-bed dormitory.<br />

Understand What<br />

Chiropractic Care Does!<br />

Many of the un-wanted conditions that people suffer from everyday can be traced<br />

back to spinal mis-alignment or subluxation & nerve system interference. Doctors<br />

of Chiropractic are specialist in the detection, correction and prevention of nerve<br />

system interference. Chiropractic makes sense, it’s scientific, incredibly safe, it’s<br />

natural and looks to cover the underlying cause of your problem.<br />
