Yoga in Hawaii - definitely different & intense!
Wer jemals auf Hawaii war, weiß genau wovon ich spreche, wenn ich behaupte, dass auf Hawaii eine ganz besondere Energie schwingt. Die Inseln sind irgendwie magisch. Jede der Islands trägt einen individuellen Vibe – doch was sie alle miteinander verbindet, ist der sehr bewusste und naturverbundene Lebensstil der meisten Hawaiianer: „Aloha“! Aloha bedeutet viel mehr […]
Carlsmith Beach Park
At a distance of about 5 km from Hilo airport, you would hardly expect such a wonderful place. The bathing spot is crisscrossed by lava rocks and forms a dreamlike backdrop for snorkeling and relaxing. The sea here shows itself in a bright green-blue; with the lush green of the coconut palms and tropical trees the color play [...]
Onekahakaha Beach Park
The large beach park near the city of Hilo is especially suitable for families, as the sea here is very shallow and the stone walls serve as breakwaters. Depending on the tides, small pools form where even small children can splash around wonderfully and safely. The water depth of this protected water park ranges from about 1 [...]
Akaka Falls State Park,
In the northeast of the island, the Hamakua Coast stretches between the capital Hilo and the village of Kukuihaele. A stretch of coastline about 83 kilometers long, full of waterfalls, picturesque plantation towns, scenic drives (small crossroads off the main road through enchanted and lush jungle) and fabulous wild nature with views of the Pacific Ocean. Nature lovers will not miss a trip along [...]
Halemaʻumaʻu Crater
Halemaumau Crater is the heart of Big Island and a MUST when visiting the largest of the Hawaiian Islands. The name is derived from the word for house (hale) and the Hawaiian name of the Sadleria fern, meaning fern house. In Hawaiian religion, the Halemaumau is considered the home of the volcano goddess Pele and therefore especially sacred. [...]
Hilo Town
Hilo is the largest city on the Big Island with a population of over 47,000. It is also the capital of Hawaii County and thus of the entire island. Hilo is framed by Hilo Bay, which has often been the victim of a tsunami. Around 1900, people began to build a protective wall at Hilo Bay, but it proved to be useless [...]
Kailua-Kona Town
Kailua-Kona has become world famous for several things. First and foremost probably by the triathlon "Ironman", which takes place every year in October since 1978 and in which the world's best athletes swim 3.8 km, cycle 180 km and with 42 km still complete a marathon. And all this in the heat of the Hawaiian sun. On the other hand by the Kona coffee, [...]
Kalapana Town
If you want to experience a piece of original Hawaii, you should not miss a visit to the former fishing town of Kalapana. In 1990, lava from the Kilauea volcano buried Kalapana and the famous black sand beach of Kaimu. Pele, Hawaii's fire goddess, also destroyed the oldest Hawaiian heiau (temple), two housing developments, and several miles of trunk highway. It [...]

The park is open daily from 7:00 - 20:00 and the Visitor Center daily [...]
Punaluʻu Black Sand Beach
Big Island is especially known for its black lava beaches, which are created and changed again and again by years of volcanic eruptions. Especially the south and southeast can boast a number of beautiful black sand beaches, of which Punaluu Black Sand Beach Park is probably the most famous. A visit is recommended if you are "passing through" from [...]
