Farmers Markets and road-side purveyors around the Big Island: update February 1, 2022

The combination of the Big Island climate (and all the various climate zones within), and the volcanic soil make for prolific and varied produce all year round. One of the best ways to experience the taste of Hawaii is to visit the farmers markets. You'll see everything from what you may be used to on the mainland (but we grow it bigger on the Big Island) to fruits or vegetables you have never seen before.

Day Trip Itineraries for Visiting Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park from the West side of Hawaii

Any time of year is a good time of year to visit Volcanoes National Park in Hawaii with many activities within the park no matter what time of year you visit (although hiking across the black lava rock fields is best done early in the day or in the winter months).

Thanks for all the helpful info. One question. Have you taken the helicopter tour? Does it land anywhere for lunch or to visit a park?

Aloha Bridget - Blue Hawaiian Helicopters does offer one tour that includes a landing at Laupahoehoe Nui (waterfall). Our family hasn't tried one of their tours as my husband isn't comfortable with helicopters, but our close friends have done one of Blue Hawaiian's Volcano helicopter tours. Keep in mind that the tour company has to keep safety a priority, so if weather is such that a waterfall landing (or any other portion of the trip) is not recommended, they will modify their flight plan.

I hope you get to visit, and if you do, let us know how the helicopter tour was for you!
