- The state of Hawaii includes approximately 130 islands in the
  Pacific Ocean, many of which are uninhabited. The islands lie about
  1,600 miles (2,600km) off the coast of mainland USA. The largest
  island, Hawaii, is known imaginatively as the Big Island, but the
  state capital, Honolulu, and most of the population is located on
  the smaller island of Oahu, which is also the main tourist
  destination. The other main islands are Maui, Molokai and Kauai.

- We took a packaged tour through Pleasant Hawaiian. I'm glad we did, since this was our first trip to Hawaii. Pleasant gave us introductions at both islands, and included some useful coupons for the typical things a first-time visitor does.

- Hilo Town: A Lot More Than Meets the Eye
  
  Hilo is located on the east, or windward, side of the Big Island. The city faces the large crescent bay, with the towering mountains of Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa as a backdrop.
- A must-see on any visit to Hilo is Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. The park includes the Jaggar Observatory, hiking trails, Halemaumau Crater, Bird Park and plenty of activities.
  
  • More about Volcanoes National Park
  
  Be sure to plan a morning trip to admire the rainbows that give Rainbow Falls its name. From Highway 19, go west on Waianuenue Avenue about 1.5 mi/2.5 km and follow the signs.
  If you're driving above Hilo on Waianuenue, turn right at the fork in the road and continue to the lookout to see Boiling Pots, a stretch of the Wailuku River where the water eddies and swirls in natural whirlpools. (Resist the temptation to swim in the river, because the strong currents and hidden rocks and ledges make it very dangerous.) About 5 mi/8 km farther, off Saddle Road, are the Kaumana Caves — their lava tubes formed during the 1881 eruption of Mauna Loa. (If you want to explore the tubes, take a flashlight.)
