Extending 1500 miles across the central Pacific, the Hawaiian Archipelago forms a veritable tropical paradise, isolated from the nearest continent by 2000 miles of sea. Hawaii's spectacular scenery over a wide range of terrain, altitude, and ecosystems, is an extraordinary hiking destination. We will experience this hiking bounty on two of the Aloha State's main islands, Kauai and the Island of Hawai'i, better known as the Big Island. Trip highlights include: Waimea Canyon, the "Grand Canyon of the Pacific" with its mesmerizing waterfalls; Na Pali Coast's spectacular Kalalau Trail - Kauai's most famous; Hawaii Volcanoes National Park's lava flows and black sand beaches; awe-inspiring guided star-gazing tour to the 13,803' summit of Mauna Kea; visit to a cocoa farm to see how chocolate is made from bean to bar; and many opportunities to learn about and enjoy Hawaii's varied geology, flora and fauna. Truly a journey in paradise!
