Planning Hawaii trip
Bert Sirkin
<CT>). My main goal is nature. Not specifically interested in resorts and
beaches, but more so in state and national parks. Places like Volcanic NP
are high on the list.
Tentatively planning on September or October, 2001. Any suggestions on
sites to see (especially places not heavily visited), best way to get around
on the islands, best way to get from island to island, etc. would be
appreciated!
TIA,
Bert Sirkin

are some great hikes through here and not much people at all. In a way it is
like hidden Maui a land that time has forgot.
Haleakala National park on Maui is also a terrific spot to see with some very
nice hikes.
There is no public transportation except on Oahu, so for the outer Islands a
rental car is a must unless you wanted to take a tour but does not sound like it
from this post.
Inter island travel is by plane.

Hawaii to fill the bill and satisfy your desires. O'ahu is the
most populous island, though there are a lot of good hikes and
out of the way places to visit and camp. You are invited to
visit my Oahu webpage at:
http://keith.martin.home.att.net/vOahu.html -
On Maui the road to Hana and the Seven Sacred Pools is definately
off the beaten track and a delight for any sightseer. You are
invited to visit my Maui webpage at:
http://keith.martin.home.att.net/vMaui.html where you can also
connect to complete information about Haleakala National Park.
And if out of the way places are what intrigues you most,
probably the Big Island of Hawaii is the best bet because it
offers the most variety. The Big Island is almost twice a big as
all the other islands combined and offers a multitude of venues
which cannot be found anywhere on Earth, like the Waipio Valley,
Mauna Kea and the Kilauea Volcano. You may connect to Volcanoes
National Park and many other points of interest from my Big
Island Page at: http://keith.martin.home.att.net/page9B.html -
And there are many off the beaten track places to explore on the
island of Kauai, most notably Waimea Canyon and the Na Pali
Coast. You may explore the island of Kauai at my webpage:
http://keith.martin.home.att.net/vKauai - or to take virtual
field trips of any of the islands, listen to live radio stations
broadcasting from Hawaii or look through hundreds of live cameras
in Hawaii, see my Hawaiiana webpage at:
http://keith.martin.home.att.net/vHawaii.html - Bon Voyage. KM

and there seem to be too many options! I'll check out the West Maui
Mountains and Haleakala NP.
Thanks!

helpful and will review in detail.
Any suggestions about the time of year to visit. I just found out hurricane
season (I though you guys got Typhoons!) is June - November and it looks
like we may visit in September. Should I be worried??
Also, we're sure we will be visiting Oahu (because of flights in and out)
and Hawaii because of Volcano NP. We can fit in one more island - probably
Kauai or Maui. Is there a significant difference between them?? Anything
from a "nature" perspective that would help me decide??
Thanks!

hurricanes, they arrive less than once a decade - so it's
definately not a concern. Interestingly enough, each Hawaiian
island is quite different from all the others. My favorite
island is the Big Island of Hawaii because it has the most
variety. There are black sand beaches, green sand beaches,
coffee plantations, the Waipio Valley, two 13,700 foot peaks,
Volcano National Park, the desert side (Kona) and the Jungle side
(Hilo). The Big Island is almost twice as big as all the other
islands combined. Maui, however has a lot of variety what with
Haleakala and the drive to Maui is truly beautiful.
Nevertheless, for nature, I'd recommend Kauai second after the
Big Island for a seascape or nature photographer. Be sure to
take the helicopter tour up Waimea Canyon and along the Na Pali
Coast. On the North Shore of Oahu, the surfing is world class
from the middle of October to the Middle of March or April.
It's tough to suggest the best time of year to visit without
knowing where you live now. If you live in Texas or Southern
California, you might want to visit in August or September to
escape the heat of your homeland. Hawaii is much cooler than
those places. If you live in a cold climate, you might want to
come in February when you are getting tired of winter! The
temperature variation in Hawaii is so slight year round - that
mainlanders really don't notice much difference between summer
and winter, although, the locals do notice the difference. You
are likely to get more rain in Autumn and Spring, than in summer
or winter. Bon Voyage! KM
At any rate, after a trip to Hawaii, you should be able to add a
lot of breathtaking photos to your website! All the best. KM

Kauai - along with Oahu, as we'll be flying in and out of there. We live in
Connecticut and will probably be going in September, 2001 (we usually like
to plan far ahead!).
