Hawaii is one place I have always dreamt to spend my vacation in. Last holiday made my dream come true. I got my bookings done as soon as possible and set for the trip. And, there i was standing amidst the mesmerizing scenic beauty of Hawaii islands. Breathtaking view of mountains, crystal blue sea, cool sea breeze and the pollution free air to breathe in.

I have always imagined what it is to see a live and active volcano right there in front of your eyes. But, had no clue of my witnessing the site ever in life. Hawaii trip was too good to be true. You can also see Vavoom Volcano lying in the regions of Hilo Island.

It is a rare experience to see lava gushing out of volcanic hole, and steams gliding up in the sky from crater. Unleash the adventure freak in you and explore the mysteries and charms of Hawaii natural beauty. You can also enjoy a hike across the valleys and crater.

The most amazing sight is of lava flowing in crater and the steam vents rising in air. Hire a right guide who is expert in Hawaiian culture, flora and fauna, distant regions, food, and history. Once you have stepped on the threshold of Hawaii islands, you never feel like going back to home.

Serving as a retreat for Queen Emma of Hawaii, her husband King Kamehameha IV & their son Prince Albert Edward. Located at 2913 Pali Highway, the summer’s Palace has now been transformed into a museum. Open for public view daily from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., this museum is maintained by the income from entrance fees, revenue from gift shops & funds raised by the “Daughters of Hawaii”.

A popular location for the Hawaiian royalty & the non-Hawaiian residents, Hanaiakamalama is located in the Nuuanu Valley. It is pertinent to note that the frame of this palace was built in Boston in 1848 & transported via the water route to Hawaii. Consisting of six rooms, this palace is one-storied with a porch built in the Greek revival style. Two years after its completion, this house was purchased by John Young II for $6000 in 1850.

Queen Emma was the niece of John Young. She added the Edinburgh Room to the rear structure of the palace on the eve of the visit of the Duke of Edinburgh. Later on, the ‘Daughters of Hawaii’ bought this site with an aim of restoring this monument to the history of Hawaii.

A former vacation home of the Hawaiian Royalty, the Hulihee Palace is located in Kailua-Kona in Hawaii on the Alii Drive. Hulihee originally means, “turn free”. It has now been transformed in to a museum & at present is run by the Daughters of Hawaii. Therefore, it need not be said that it displays the historic furniture & artifacts. Built out of lava rock, this museum was built by the then Governor John Adams Kuakini. The palace gradually was passed on to the possession of Princess Ruth Keelikolani. Even though the princess made the palace her chief residence, she preferred sleeping on the grass hut rather than inside the palace.

Later on, this palace was sold on to King Kalakaua & Queen Kapiolani. The King renamed this palace “Hikulani Hale” meaning the “house of the seventh ruler”. He referred to himself as the seventh ruler of the monarchy that began with King Kamehameha I. King Kalakaua remodeled the palace to give it a new appearance. The “Daughters of Hawaii” group dedicated their lives to preserving the cultural legacy of the Hawaiian Islands & the history of the Hulihee Palace. If you ever visit the Hawaii then do make it a point to visit this palace.
