Kapohokine Adventures is your one-stop shop for outdoor adventures on the 'Big Island.' Their packages include a zip line ride through tropical forests covering almost 2 miles, hiking through unique areas of the Hawaii Volcanoes National Park that are not normally traveled, and a lava expedition that takes you to the most current active eruption site.

Hike to Rainbow Falls and see an 80-foot tall waterfall that is nearly 100-feet in diameter. The water flows over a natural lava cave and legend has it that this is the home of the Hawaiian goddess Hina. Alaska Falls State Park is another great location to see waterfalls, but bring your rain gear as this is a rainforest and you may get wet. Be sure to also check out the Panaewa Rainforest Zoo to see 80+ animal species in a natural setting or go to the Hawaii Tropical Botanical Garden to see lush, tropical plants.

Visit the largest authentic ornamental Japanese garden outside of Japan at Liliuokalani Gardens. This 30-acre garden features ponds, rock gardens, bridges, a teahouse and more. Just offshore from the garden is Coconut Island which offers visitors swimming, a tower you can jump from, and is an ideal location to spot some sea turtles. Spend the day at local beaches, go snorkeling, swim with dolphins, or try surfing at Honoli.
