Hawaii ... The missing piece of Paradise

What the first thing you think about Hawaii? White foamy sea lapping on the golden sand beach surrounded by coconut trees swaying in the wind? You are mistaken.

However, you can still enjoy Hawaii without going to the beach.

Mauna Kea

The peak of this active volcano is 4205 m (13 796 ft) above sea level, the highest mountain in the state of Hawaii. With a clear point of view, it is not surprising that this is the summit of the mountain snow that decorated the largest collection of astronomical telescopes in the world.

Destinations offers a view of astronomy and astronomy program night to the public. Experienced mountaineers can even walk 12 miles to the top of the other world through the landscape of cinder cone volcanic and ancient archaeological sites.

Volcanic soils and sloping meadows of Mount Haleakala has been maintained for agricultural land and livestock Maui over the last two centuries. A path through the meadows of the Kula will take you past dairy farms, vineyards, dairy goats, and a large lavender farm (with a cafe and gift shop offers lavender).

This place has now been replaced by Maui's best restaurants, art galleries, a bar with Irish music, of course, souvenir shops. Meanwhile, cruise past Lahaina, you'll be able to watch whales in the harbor.
