This very unique snorkeling spot is now under two feet of lava. Another treasure lost but another will surely develop.

The Maku'u farmers market is my favorite on the Hilo side of the Big Island!! If good eats is what your craving, there is a variety of good eats to include thai, Mexican, Japanese, bbq, crepes, local favs, lots of vegetarian options, coffee and danishes, and desserts! If you ate looking for plants, look no further. Ive found rare plants like the peanut butter fruit tree, lemon eucalyptus, and moringa.fruit and veggie stands are endless with local papaya, avocado, breadfruit, breadfruit, mango, rambutan, durian, and many others! Let's talk sweets... my favorite honey vendor whose farm is on the southeast of the island. Nice guy, let's you sample the different varieties of honey from the bees that pollinate macadamia, lilikoi, and mango fields before purchasing. You can also find local art, jewelry, clothing, knick knacks, massage, and fresh coconuts here. Often times, there is live music in the dining areas. Open on sunday's only, lots of parking, $2 per car.

7. Kaimu Beach Park

Reviewed By Ellesor826 - Bradenton, United States
This is a must stop and walk and experience thing that every visitor must experience when visiting Hawaii. This beach was one of the highlights on the tour we had chosen from our cruise ship and truly was exceptional. Be prepared to be out in the hot and humid sun for the walk to and from the black sand beach on a nature path with lots of photo ops along the way. It's not smooth but it's not steep and it is hot! And it is also very well worth it! Stop by the little smoothie shop when you're done for a nice refreshing cold and delicious treat. This is not to be missed.

My wife and I loved this special place when we vacationed in Hawaii last year. A large, clear pond warmed by geothermal heat and protected from the ocean surf by a rock reef. It was such a mellow atmosphere with people just happily floating in the warm, soft waters. I saw colorful reef fish when I snorkeled there too. But, as others have said, the latest volcano has wiped it off the map. Maybe there's another place like this on the Big Island...

Lava Tree State Park is a lovely natural wonder and great place to see a volcanic fissure, walk the trails among the flora and fauna, and even sit at the picnic tables for your lunch while learning about the lava trees. Great explanatory signage. And rest rooms! Want to relax in solitude? Stop by! We went with John our driver from Pineapple Xpress Tours, Hilo. Give him a call and let him know you want to see Lava Tree State Park!
