FERN GAVELEK


Holei Sea Arch along the coastal

section of Chain of Craters Road

By Fern Gavelek

TIMING! Plan plenty of time to visit Hawai‘i Volcanoes National Park. A World Heritage site, HVNP has much to see and do. It’s best to spend the night at Volcano House or nearby Volcano Village to best enjoy your road trip to and from the park; it’s located on the southeastern end of the island, Map G:K12.

SEE RED! Stay after dark to see red. At press time, a red glow emanates from the ongoing gas eruption of Halema‘uma‘u Crater. Peer right into the action at the Jagger Museum Overlook. The billowing plume is the result of molten activity in the crater’s lava lake. The park is open 24-7 so check it out after dinner or before dawn, when it’s less crowded—you may hear lava bubbling below! Map F:B20.

INFO! Eruption activity can change so stop at Kilauea Visitor Center; it’s staffed by rangers 9 a.m.-5 p.m. daily, 808-985-6000. Find a daily posting of free interpretive programs and catch a short film, “Born of Fire…Born of the Sea,” followed by a current eruption update, at the top of the hour. For an online eruption update, visit nps.gov/havo/planyourvisit/lava2.htm.

SCIENCE! Watch real-time scientific monitors in action inside Jagger Museum. Colorful, large murals by the late art historian Herb Kawainui Kane depict the Hawaiian pantheon, including Pelehonuamea, the deity of volcanoes. Open 10 a.m.-7:30 p.m. daily with “Life on the Edge” ranger talks at 2, 3:30 and 5 p.m.

HIKE! Go subterranean with a walk through Thurston Lava Tube. A picturesque trail rich with bird song and towering tree ferns descends to the 500-year-old Nahuku tunnel that’s illuminated by lights. Caves like this form by traveling magma.

MORE! Other park attractions illustrating the awe of volcanism: Kilauea Iki Crater, Devastation Trail, Keanakakoi Crater, Pu‘u Loa Petroglyphs and Chain of Craters Road. Visit nps.gov/havo/planyourvisit.

41 Hawai‘i State Bird, the

Nene (Hawaiian Goose)Proclaimed the state bird in 1959, the nene resembles the Canada Goose in appearance. Find it during the spring-summer on golf courses, where the birds hatch their young, or

in Hawai‘i’s national parks. The geese favor the native foods of the uplands when not rearing goslings and can maneuver harsh terrain including rocky lava f lows. Pronounced “nay-nay,” the bird is classified as an endangered species with about 900 living on Hawai‘i Island, and as many as 1,100 more combined across Maui, Kaua‘i and Moloka‘i.

It may be hard to concentrate on your game in Hawai’i. After all, the lava-lined fairways provide a striking contrast to the manicured greens dappled by the canopies of palm trees.

Waikoloa Village Golf Club offers a Robert Trent Jones Jr.-designed, championship course with large, well-bunkered and undulating greens. Wide landing areas encourage aggressive tee shots. Rated the “Big Island’s Best Bargain” by Golf Magazine, the course is frequented by local residents.

In English, omiyage is translated as “souvenir.” And nowadays, the gift itself has become just that.

ALOHA SHIRTdid you know?The humble aloha shirt; part icon and part working man’s everyday lay-around-the-house shirt. The Hawaiian aloha shirt is a symbol forever linked with Hawai‘i. It was in 1931 that a young college graduate named Ellery Chun came home during the Great Depression to work in his father’s dry goods store in Honolulu, who created the first aloha shirt. He registered the name “Aloha” in 1936 and ran a print ad in a local newspaper and first coined the phrase “aloha shirt.” The rest is history.

The Big Isle’s gourmet coffees are grounds for celebration! Kona coffee is grown in the North and South Kona Districts while Ka‘u coffee is named after its large, sprawling southern district. These award-winning, regional coffees are hand-picked when red-ripe and carefully milled, dried and roasted to ensure quality. While each grower contributes to coffee quality through

farming techniques, processing steps also contribute to the taste and aroma of coffee. When buying coffee, read labels. Kona Coffee “blends” are only required to contain at least 10 percent Kona coffee. Also note that coffee labeled as “Hawaiian” can be sourced from anywhere in the state. Peaberry coffee, which makes up about five percent of the crop, is coffee made from coffee cherries that contain

only one bean—instead of the usual two. This unique, sought-after coffee has its own f lavor profile and is sold at a premium by producers. The Hawai‘i Department of Agriculture established a coffee-grading standard to distinguish the quality of green Kona coffee; the top grade is Kona Extra Fancy, followed by Kona Fancy, Kona Number One and Kona Prime. Some coffee brands include these grades on packaging. Roasting is considered the leading factor that distinguishes the f lavor of coffee. A lighter roast allows the nuances of the coffee bean’s f lavors to come through. A darker roast, also called espresso or French, results in beans with less caffeine. It’s best to sample all roasts to determine your favorite. In addition, coffees labeled as “estate” are those produced and entirely controlled by one plantation—from tree

HAWAI‘I’S BEST on a plate

Hawai‘i Regional Cuisine (HRC) was born 22 years ago

in 1991 when a group of 12 island chefs experimented with food concepts and developed what is now recognized worldwide

as HRC.

Eastern and western culinary traditions were combined to

create unique Pacific-inspired dishes that incorporated locally

grown and raised products from island farmers, plus the freshest

seafood from the Pacific Ocean.

The 12 original pioneers of Hawai‘i Regional Cuisine are chefs Sam Choy, Roger

Dikon, Mark Ellman, Beverly Gannon, Jean-Marie Josselin,

George Mavrothalassitis, Peter Merriman, Amy Ferguson Ota,

Philippe Padovani, Gary Strehl, Alan Wong, and Roy Yamaguchi.

Restaurants offering HRC include Huggo’s in Kailua-Kona, Bamboo Restaurant, plus Roy’s

Waikoloa Bar & Grill and Merriman’s in Waimea.

Made fresh dailyAny day that begins with a hot cup of coffee and a freshly baked pastry is a good one. Pick up fresh-baked breads, croissants, pastries and pies, or deli sandwiches, quiche and sweet desserts for a picnic on a white-sand beach, along the hiking trail or to enjoy while on the road. Saving something sweet for a late-night bite doesn’t hurt either.

with an isle twist

Hawai‘i offers all your favorite foods (and then some), but with an island-style twist. Here’s to expanding our tastebuds while enjoying the things that make it “local”! For casual, yet elegant, dinner and cocktails on the water’s edge in Kailua Village, Huggo’s has been THE place to go since 1969. The award-winning restaurant is known for innovative fresh fish offerings, teriyaki steak, guava-braised baby back ribs, house-made pastas and salads. Enjoy live music on weekends and an expanded menu. A must: try a handcrafted cocktail concocted with house-made ingredients! Enjoy dinner for breakfast or breakfast for dinner at

Ken’s House of Pancakes—it’s totally up to you. You can’t go wrong with the Sweet Bread French Toast made with Portuguese sweet bread, BBQ Kalua Pig Sandwich, or how about the Lup Cheong Omelette? It’s a spicy, sweet Chinese sausage prepared in an omelette. Also try the Kalua Pig & Kabbage, Teri Beef Hoagie or the popular Oxtail Stew. Lots more on the menu!

The plate lunchLocals know the term and all it entails when you say, “Let’s go get a plate lunch.” We know it’ll be really good: it’ll be enough food to hold us till dinner, it might make us nod off in front of the computer, and for those trying to cut down on intake, it means a really good lunch for the next day. A local plate lunch is really the working man’s go-to for lunch because it’s so filling. And we enjoy it anytime of day. It’s typically a protein or combo of proteins, two scoops of white or brown rice (available at some places), and either mac or tossed salad. Favorites include teriyaki beef, hamburger steak, chicken katsu, mahi mahi and beef stew. There are even places offering gourmet plate lunch selections for the “elevated” palate—garlic chicken, seared or blackened ahi, short ribs and so much more. Ask a resident where his/her favorite plate lunch place is, and give it a try.

Did you know that in ancient Hawai‘i, men and women were forbidden to eat together? However, in 1819, King Kamehameha II put an end to the kapu (law or rule), which then allowed everyone to gather and enjoy their meals. Thus the lu‘au was born. At a lu‘au, no one is a stranger, and all are welcomed with the spirit of aloha. It’s a time to enjoy Hawaiian cultural activities and performances, a grand feast and creating new friendships. Presented by Traditions Hawaii and the renown musical Lim family, Mauna Kea Beach Luau headlines a spectacular fire knife dance and includes performances by the award-winning hula halau, Na Lei ‘O Kaholoku. The incredible buffet offers 30 scrumptious food choices that include the highlight—savory kalua pig, smoked in the underground imu (oven).

Bountiful Big IslandIn addition to being a worldwide leader in the harvest of

popular macadamia nuts and orchids, Hawai‘i Island is the only place in the United States that grows vanilla and cacao beans (the raw material for chocolate). Most farms are open to the public for visits where you can learn about the growing and

production processes.

Designated a Marine Life Conservation District in 1969, Kealakekua Bay State Historical Park holds an abundant and

diverse population of marine life within its pristine borders. As the island’s largest sheltered natural bay, Kealakekua is home to an ancient heiau that remains sacred to the Hawaiian people. On its north side, Ka‘awaloa Cove offers some of the island’s

best snorkeling. A pod of Spinner dolphins also rest here during the day. As with all the islands’ natural spaces, the protection of

this haven is of prime importance while enjoying its riches.

Here’s how it works:as you know, trading CO2 (exhale) for O2 (inhale) occurs in billions of alveoli cells in the bronchial tubes & lungs, but not in the 4-6 inches from the trachea to the mouth hole—the stretch known as dead air space. A primitive snorkel triples dead air space, so you re-breathe the same air, which is like wearing the same sox or not changing your skivvies. Burning lungs with a heavy heart & head afflict the snorkeler breathing CO2. Do you really feel like sighing in an elevator? Now comes the FRESH-AIR SNORKEL: Mofl02™ with Jarvic IX-style, aortic valvulation & demarcation twixt in & out more tangible than that between church & state! With a double-valve twin chamber, the Mofl02™ clears easy with a double huff, for no headaches & more umph in your glug. Mofl02™ osmotic convection delivers 99% fresh air on every breath.
