i went in August and stayed in Kona on the Big Island for a week. we had giant turtles underneath our balcony at the Ohana Keauhou Beach Resort.
besides counting the turtles every morning, we went hiking in Volcanoes National Park and got within 5 feet of flowing lava, toured Travel and Leisures World's Most Beautiful Beaches, drove around the entire island which included a stop at Waimea Valley, a gorgeous canyon, went to the rainforest in Hilo, kayaked across the bay where dolphins swam, snorkeled, and went to The Place of Refuge where there is a model royal village. Waterfalls abound on the Hilo side of the Big Island, while beaches on the Kona side are fantastic.

seeing lava flow was the most amazing experience of my life, i have to say. watching the earth being born is unbelievable.

Food - Hawaiian food is not so great other than the fruit you can buy at farmer's markets. Hawaiian food is really salty. you can get some really tasty fruit smoothies at coffee shops. ooh, and coffee, mmmm. don't miss trying pure kona coffee (although it's about $25/lb.) There's lots of great little cafes where you can get really great breakfast and snacks though.

I didn't expect that I would have enjoyed Hawaii so much, but i really loved it.

Use this guide book if you decide to go.
