Poke is a food I love to eat here. Its raw tuna with some great seasoning. They are only open until they run out of fresh fish for the day.

If you are down on the south side of the island you need to stop in here and get a Portuguese malasadas. They are like a very light donut, and lilikoi is my favorite.

This place is also know as two step and is a great place to go snorkeling. I like it even better than going with a tour company that takes people to the Captain Cook monument. I feel there are way more fish and not as many people here. Plus the tide pools are fun for the kids to play in.

Parks & Nature
This is a great beach for boogie boarding or body surfing. In the winter the shore break can be kind of dangerous and the rocks come out. But in the summer time it is all sand and nice waves.

There is a nice trail you can walk on and see many new steam vents. You can also see how much the caldera has grown since the last eruption. There is a great times lap video in the visitors center that shows how things have changed since last year. FYI Its usually a lot cooler at Volcano than in Kona.

This is a great beach to spend the day at. In the winter boogie boarding can be good, and in the summer there is some good snorkeling all the way to the right side of the beach in front of the hotel. There also is lots of sand for the kids to play in. There is bathrooms and showers and I think you can even rent stuff at a little shop.

Sometimes in the winter there is snow up here! It's lots of fun to feel like you're on top of the world. You are up pretty high so there are some warnings about altitude sickness for children under 13. We have found out that this is true, our son got sick when we went up to the top one Christmas.
