The Big Island is a very special place, with one of the few active volcanoes in the world.

Here are some free things you can do: the Akatsuka Orchid farm, snorkel and look at the colorful tropical fish small and low key Panaewa zoo, stop at South Point (Ka Lae), the most southern point of US territory, green sand beach, Rainbow falls, the boiling pots, snorkel/swim with dolphins at Hookena or 2 steps, St Benedict`s Painted Church, walk the Hilo down town stores and fruit market place, visit the Captain Cook Monument at Kealakekua bay, walk down the spectacular Waipio or Polulu valleys, travel up Mauna Kea to look at the Observatories and stars through the telescopes set up at the Onizuka Center for International Astronomy, swim with the ocean turtles or see them sleep and bask at many of the more secluded beaches on the island, like Kiholo Bay and Punalu'u Black Sand Beach, tan and swim at many of the white sand beaches, like Magic Sands, Hapuna, Mauna Kea, Makalavena, visit many of the historic Hawaiian centers on the island and bathe in the water fall at the Kolekole Beach Park. These are only but a few things you could do, to many to mention. Paying things would be, visit the Tsunami museum, Akaka Falls, Hawaii Tropical Botanical Garden, take a fight on the Blue Hawaiian helicopters, swim and snorkel with the manta-rays at night, Zip line across the Akaka falls or rain forest settings, ATV and horse riding excursions, variety of boat and catamaran activities being offered.

There bus route about 2 and a half miles from the house, but very limited and not for sightseeing. No smoking on the premises. Remove outdoor shoes and leave them on the rack by the door before entering the house. Please be considerate by closing doors gently instead of slamming. Close doors quickly to keep mosquitos out. And keep screen doors closed as well.
