[quote=Anonymous]We recently did a trip there as well - a few tips based on previous questions and comments-

1. The BEST thing about Hawaii is all beaches are public. So no hotel has a private beach. The Mauna Kea hotel mentioned above is gorgeous and their beach is near perfect. I believe this may be what the link above is referencing but you can visit the beach by just driving past the front entrance and parking in the little lot there. My husband and I went one early morning and it was amazing. Hapuna Beach and Beach 69 are also supposed to be beautiful, but we did not go to those.

2. Also highly recommend saddle road - right between the two biggest volcanoes.

3. At VNP drive down to see the sea arch - it is beautiful and may not be around forever, it had just lost a chunk when we were there. Also the drive down is totally beautiful and surreal - so cool to follow the maps and see when each dried up lava flow originated.

4. Our kids loved the coffee plantation tour! It was less than an hour and interesting enough. We went to Greenwell Farms and it was well done.
