I like Lyon Arboretum in Manoa!

1. On the Big Island:
   Volcanoes National Park, you can hike across a hardened lava field and see lava actively flowing.

   Also on the Big Island:
   The Hawaii Botanical Gardens, north of Hilo. You can hike on a wooden deck from the canopy of the rain forest see a small double water fall and then make your way to the ocean. There is also an aviary with exotic birds and being a Botanical Garden all the plants are labeled with their names.

2. Well, if your on Oahu, you have to take a stroll from the Diamond Head parking to the top. Be sure to pack lots of water and some snacks.
3. I live on Oahu and my favorite place to hike is Waimea Falls area.. and gschnabl1 I live on the No. shore and thank God, it is still basically the same as the 70's and we keep fighting to keep it that way, but they developers and fighting to come in…so sad. Aloha
4. Pololu Valley on the Northern tip of the Big Island. Great pix opportunities, beautiful drive from Waimea to Hawi, lunch at Bamboo…Perfect day!
5. Walk tantales drive …. 15 miles but on a blacktop road
6. I used to like to just walk the beach on the north shore, sunset beach, pipeline etc. of course that was in the mid 70's probably paved over now, lol. Mahalo
7. Kauai has the most hiking trails, I like to go on Waimea Canyon trails. Kalalau trail is good, but you have to get a permit if you want to go beyond the first mile of trails.

   Big Island has the Pololu trail which goes under a waterfall at the midway point of the fall. There's also the trail that takes you to the point where the lava spills out into the ocean over at Volcanoes.

8. There are some cool hikes on Kauai. We went up this mountain and got some great views. Kauai also has a walmart. Hooray walmart, it saved our honeymoon.
9. go to MAUI!!!!
   YOU CANT GET ANY BETTER!
   IN FACT IM GOING TOMORROW!!!
   ITS THE BEST ISLAND EVER!
   STUFF TO DO AND KICK BACK! ITS PERFECT
10. on oahu… maunawilli falls and the rope swing in the bamboo forest off the pali hwy (jackson waterhole I think)
