The main Big Island of Hawaii is a place that is filled with natural wonders and unspoiled terrain.
While Hawaii is a beautiful place, about the only conventional way you have of getting up close to enjoy the natural scenery is through hiking laboriously through the forests or renting an SUV.
Even if you did do that, you really would need the services of an expensive local guide to get anywhere.
There are no adequate routes marked out to take you through and not enough signage to help enough find your own way.
There is an unconventional way to go about it though.
If you can tolerate the hair-raising nature of it, this may be the best way you have a seeing Hawaii's natural beauty.
Among all the Hawaii activities you have your choice of, this should be about the most fun - it is using a zipline strung up high above Hawaii to see the island.
There are many operators around that operate various lines.
The experience you can have on any of them can really make your trip.
Pick one hundreds of feet over the forest or waterfall, and the sights you see should last you a lifetime.
A zipline is a stainless steel cable strung up high above the ground, from a point that's higher up to a point that is lower in altitude.
Riders on a zipline wear a harness, attach themselves to the line and slowly slide down the line while they get breathtaking views of the ground far below.
There lots of Hawaii activities you can partake of other than such ziplining too, though that could be the highlight of the island's offerings.
People don't usually think of Hawaii and horseback riding in the same context.
Hawaii though, offers great terrain and stunning views to enjoy while riding on a horse.
There are many ranches on the big islands that cater to this market.
Some of the best times to be had in Hawaii though come to those who really get close to the earth, taking the challenging hiking trails of the island to get really in touch with Hawaii's scenic beauty.
One of the most exciting tracks there are, take you up the Haleakala volcano to the rim of the crater.
On the way there are camping sites to pitch your tent on, and wonderful pools to bathe in.
It's a tropical paradise that's best experienced on foot.
But if it seems like too much, taking an off-roader on the path can be a great idea too.
In Hawaii, activities that take you close to the islands' natural beauty are about the best.
