A pair of vastly different environments offer a look at the incredible variety of birds living on the Big Island of Hawaii. Look for 'elepaios and the endangered palila on the west side of Mauna Kea or go in search... of Hawaiian thrushes and akiapolaau in the cloud forest along the Puu Oo Trail.
Get started with a ride north along the coastline, and keep an eye out for open-country birds as you make your way to the old Mamalahoa Highway. From there, set off along the Saddle Road and watch for game birds as well as the pueo, or short-eared owl. After you stop for breakfast, it's time to head into the forest for one of 2 spectacular birding adventures.
Dry Forest Birding:
Just off Saddle Road, you can ride into the Kaohe Game Management Area, 4-wheel your way into Puu Laau for stunning views of the leeward coast below, and step into the Mauna Kea Forest Preserve for some serious bird watching in native Hawaiian dry forest. Keep watch for the critically threatened palila, the Hawaii amakihi, and the local species of the Hawaii elepaio with distinctive white feathering on its head.
Rainforest Birding:
Make your way to the Puu Oo Trail, a historic cattle drive route, on Mauna Loa's northeastern flank. An environment of windy clouds that often cloak the windward side of the island, this route takes you over century-old lava flows and into the Hawaiian rainforest.
Your vehicle parks at the trailhead, where you can set off toward some of the most productive birding areas in the state. Along the way, you can hope to spot iiwi, apapane, amakihi, omao, elepaio, and the elusive akiapolaau with its unique multipurpose beak. Read More close

Spend a full day exploring the Big Island's must-see sights and natural landmarks with a certified naturalist guide. Trek through a lava tube, watch active flows of fiery magma, dig your toes into the fine grains of a black sand... beach, and visit a coffee and tropical fruit plantation.
The youngest island in the Hawaiian chain, the Big Island still has active lava flows, where steaming magma pours into the sea and melts across blackened lunar landscapes. In sharp contrast to this barren, underworld-like visage, the island is also covered in lush rainforests and palm-fringed beaches that fade into the sapphire sea. Touring with a naturalist guide is the perfect way to discover the island's spectacular diversity.
Ride in comfort to 4 different National Park sites, hopping out for short walks and enjoying locally sourced snacks and meals along the way. At Pu'uhonua o Honaunau, see where Hawaiians who had broken an ancient kapu (law) could seek refuge from the penalty of death. At Hawaii Volcanoes, watch for glowing ribbons of molten rock and walk through the surreal Thurston Lava Tube. And at Pu'ukohola Heiau, admire the temple of King Kamehameha the Great.
Head down to Punalu'u Black Sand Beach, where endangered green sea turtles are known to bask on the charcoal-colored shores, and then make your way into the hills to the Ka'u Coffee Mill. Tour the orchards, learn about the harvesting and roasting process, and sip a freshly brewed cup before your return ride to Kona. Read More close

Come face-to-face with the gentle giants residing off the Kona Coast. Choose to dive or snorkel and watch how the massive manta rays, weighing up to 3,000 pounds (1,360 kg), gracefully swim around in the illumination provided by your dive... light.
Leave the Honokohau harbor behind and travel 20 minutes up the Kona coast as the sun sinks down over the horizon. The experienced staff shares tips and instruction and gets you fitted with wetsuits and water gear prior to arriving, so you have plenty of time to actually jump in and swim among the rays.
Once at the manta viewing area, grab your dive light and jump into the ocean. Hold onto a flotation raft as you get your bearings and prepare for the experience of a lifetime. As the light from the boat shines out into the darkened tropical waters, the phytoplankton that mantas feed on swarm toward the glow. Watch as the graceful aquatic creatures swim around you with mouths wide open, feasting on plankton during this stunning underwater ballet.
At depths of only 30 feet (9 m), you can clearly see the ocean floor and observe how the rays appear from the darkness. With their calm nature and nothing that bites or stings, manta rays are one of the safest and most fascinating animals you can encounter in the wild. Read More close

Grab your camera and board a luxurious catamaran to spot majestic humpback whales that migrate to the warm Hawaiian waters each winter. This evening whale-watching tour is complete with an open bar, tropical snacks, and a front-row seat to witness... the whales in their natural habitat.
Cruise the deep-blue waters of the Pacific Ocean and keep your eyes peeled for local marine life such as honu (Hawaiian sea turtles) and malolo (Hawaiian flying fish). Enjoy the Hawaiian breeze as your knowledgeable captain describes the kohola's (humpback whale's) migration pattern, history, and habitat.
Head to various pods in the shallow waters of the Hawaiian Islands Humpback Whale National Marine Sanctuary and learn about whale-surfacing behaviors. Each year, from roughly December through April, approximately 10,000 humpback whales seek the warm, shallow water off the Hawaiian coast to breed, calve, and nurse their young.
On the outdoor deck, enjoy the sunset and grab your favorite cocktail as you search for a whale breach. The whales drive their body almost 40 percent out of the water, creating an enormous (and picturesque) splash upon landing. Keep an ear out for whale songs, monitored by the boat's underwater hydrophone system. Read More close
