This is less of a hike and more of a cliff jumping activity. To be more realistic, it is 100% about the cliff jumping! The hike itself is only about 0.3 miles from where you park. At the end of the trail is a 30-40ft cliff that stands above the big blue water of the pacific. The conditions here can be dicey, but if the ocean is calm End Of The World is a great place to cliff jump. Check out the video of our adventure at End Of The World here!

If you’ve made the trip all the way to Hawaii, South Point and Green Sand Beach have to be on your list of places to go. Green Sand Beach is a small bay surrounded by cliffs with beautiful green and black sand to relax on. It is fairly secluded, not usually that busy and has very clear blue water. For the thrill seekers, South Point is just down the road from Green Sand Beach and has a sheer 30ft cliff to jump off.

Homonalino Beach is very quiet, secluded and not well known to tourists. Unlike many of the Big Island’s Public Beaches, Honomalino isn’t accessible by road. This makes it a nice peaceful and quiet place to relax. The hike to the beach from the parking lot is just under a mile, requires little effort, and when you reach the beach, you’ll be rewarded with picturesque scenery and a beautiful black sand beach.

Hiking to Kiholo Bay is a nice short walk along the Kohala Coast. Kiholo Bay is a tide pool known for having uniquely turquoise water. The turquoise water is a result of ocean saltwater meeting and mixing with fresh water. The hike follows the beach over black lava rock, passing a flooded lava tube known as the Queen’s Bath.

Mauna Kea is one of two major volcanos on the Big Island of Hawaii. Standing 13,800 ft above sea level makes Mauna Kea the highest peak in all of Hawaii. The neighboring volcano, Mona Loa, is just south of Mauna Kea and can be seen from the peak.  The entire trip to the summit of Mauna Kea is drivable, but there are some factors you should consider before heading up. Check out the video of our adventure to the summit of Mauna Kea here!

The hike to Nanue Falls is very short and only 18 miles north of Hilo. Although this hike is short and doesn’t require much time, it is challenging as there is no trail and you must rock hop along slippery boulders up the creek. Our guide contains essential driving and hiking directions to reach Nanue Falls.

Note: Despite our enthusiasm in the video it turns out we didn’t actually find Narnia. Guess we will have to plan a return trip to the Big Island to find the true location of Narnia. This guide will give you the details of our hike and where we went in our failed attempt.

Hawaii is well known for many things, one of those being beautiful waterfalls. On our search for Narnia we stumbled across a swimming hole with spectacular waterfalls. It was somewhat off the beaten path and consisted of four 30ft high narrow waterfalls that all pour into the same pool. Even though it wasn’t Narnia, it was a relatively easy hike and would be worth checking out. Check out the video of our search for Narnia here!

Swimming with manta rays is a once in a lifetime experience that can be had right offshore on the Big Island of Hawaii. Diving with manta rays can also be experienced in other parts of the world, but Hawaii is one of the best! Check out the video of our adventure swimming with the Mantas here!

The “Jello Mold” is an ancient cinder cone between Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa with a stunning view of the Kona Coast. It is known as the Jello Mold due to its resemblance to an upside-down mold. The hike to the summit requires a relatively high level of fitness as the elevation gain is constant. A bike makes the first half of the hike much faster and the way down a lot easier.

White Road hike is one of the most adventurous hikes we’ve done. The hike is located on the north side of the Big Island at the back end of the Waipio Valley.
