When planning a vacation on the Hawaiian Islands, I would have to say that the toughest part of planning is actually deciding what to do in Hawaii, which of all of the amazing things you can make time in your vacation schedule to experience. You can do anything from snorkeling and basking in the tropical sun to driving to the top of a mountain and playing in the snow! Mauna Kea has a top elevation of 13,796 above sea level! Now most people don’t think of mountainous climates on the Hawaiian Islands! There are also lush tropical forests, inland farms that produce fruits and vegetables, even ranches where the Hawaiian people raise their livestock. There is so much more on the beautiful Hawaiian Islands than beaches and volcanoes. Dare to explore it all!
