With gas prices soaring to nearly $4 per gallon, filling up your car’s tank is not the only thing getting more expensive. With the summer travel season quickly approaching and gas prices higher than before, your plane ticket to Hawaii is also getting pricier. Delta Airlines recently announced they will be adding a $110 round-trip fuel surcharge to its Los Angeles to Honolulu flights. This added fuel surcharge comes on top of rising airfare prices, which began to climb after ATA and Aloha Airlines declared bankruptcy and discontinued flights in recent months.
Travelers still hoping to make it to the Hawaiian isles can count on lower airfares starting in September, with airfares dropping from summer highs of nearly $700 roundtrip from LAX to Honolulu to a lower $425 range.

Pololu Valley
End of Highway 270, Big Island
Pololu Valley is a pristine and beautiful valley once inhabited by early Hawaiians, but long since abandoned because of fear of Tsunamis. The valley, however, offers spectacular vistas of green sloping cliffs dropping into the ocean below. Pololu Beach, located at the bottom of the valley, is also a gorgeous black sand beach. Because of these areas inaccessibility to cars, the area remains calm and pristine and is a great out of the way destination.
To get to Pololu Valley, drive to the very end of Highway 270 on the big island. At the parking lot/trailhead at the end of the highway you can either enjoy the spectacular scenery from your car, or you can take the adventurous route and hike down into the valley and onto the black sand beach below. The hike is relatively short (about 25 minutes), but is rather steep and can be wet and treacherous. In fact, the trail was long closed due to earthquake damage, but has now re-opened to the public. The zigzagging dirt path will take you through beautiful ironwood trees, through marshland, lead you past the creek flowing through the valley and offer you stunning views of waterfalls and the cliffs dropping into the ocean.

Although visitor’s to Hawaii don’t usually immediately associate horses, cowboys and a ranching history with the islands, the archipelago has a long standing cowboy culture and influence.

Hawaiian cowboys, called Paniolo’s, are often part of local festivals and gatherings and are a celebrated part of island culture. Horseback riding is a popular tourist activity for visitors to the island.
