Chapter 347 The Big Island of Hawaii

After wandering around the pier last night, everyone came back early to rest and had a good night's sleep on the yacht. This morning, it was sunny again.

Julie and the others still didn't follow everyone, but went directly to Waikiki Beach. They had already been to Hawaii many times and had no curiosity about the scenery, so it was better to go directly to enjoy the beach and sunshine.

In fact, their main purpose of coming along was to experience the Venus yacht. Now that they have enjoyed it, they have no more goals.

And I'm leaving tomorrow, unlike Qin Yi and his group, their work is bound by rules and regulations, unlike Qin Yi and the others, their work is almost up to Qin Yi's decision, and they can play however they want!
Qin Yi didn't care about them, took Susa and Keluo with him, and the husband and wife greeted their friends together, and started to visit the big island of Hawaii.

The Big Island, as the name suggests, is the largest island in Hawaii, a volcanic island located at the southeastern tip of the state of Hawaii.

As an island, there are naturally some sea-related activities such as kayaking to watch dolphins, snorkeling, and sunny beaches, but the most famous one on this island is the Volcano National Park.

The beaches here are not as good as Oahu and Maui, and the scenery is not as famous as Kauai, but it is also a very interesting place. On the same day, you can go skiing up the mountain, go surfing in the sea, and then go to the volcano park to see the volcano. !

The volcanoes here are all active volcanoes. Although there have been no major eruptions in recent decades, if you come to appreciate them at night, you can see the red lava underneath through the cracks in the black lava. It looks like a red-hot irregular iron net, spread on the ground, extending to the seaside, it is very spectacular!
According to the tour map, Qin Yi and his party first came to the volcano and admired the waterfall here.

What is more distinctive is that there is a faint bridge-shaped rainbow in front of the waterfall, combined with the large pool shrouded in smoke, and the lush trees and shrubs on both sides of the curved cliff, it is quite a bit of a fairytale mystery.

Everyone loves the beautiful scenery, and it is indispensable. Girls big and small took pictures one after another, posing in various cute, gentle, cute, and funny poses, which kept Qin Da's photographer busy!
On the other hand, Ye Fang seemed leisurely, as long as he took good care of Liu Qimeng, unlike Qin Yi, he had to take pictures of the rest of the beauties!
Fortunately, I took a few photos for Susa and Khloe, so I gave up with understanding and held up the camera to take pictures for Sarah and Rachel. Angel also happily held up a Polaroid to help Becky pose in various poses. In the photo, the two little girls had the most leisurely time!

With the help of family members, Qin Yi only needs to help Amanda and Jenny take pictures, and it will be much easier.

Entering the Volcano Park, everyone looked at the volcanic scenery that they had never seen before, and they couldn't help admiring.

This national park covers an area of ​​22 acres, which is almost twice the size of the Sun River Ranch. The vegetation and surface features in it are all formed naturally after volcanic eruptions.

Large and small, strangely shaped black lava, most of which are covered by various vegetation and moss, but there are also many exposed, one pile and another, black and lacquered protruding from the ground, some abrupt, but there is also a unique What a novelty.

There are a variety of vegetation here, tall trees, low shrubs, tropical broad-leaved plants, and even trees such as pine needles, mixed and mixed, but the most are all kinds of tropical plants, with wide and thick leaves, which look fresh and plump , full of vitality.

The vegetation is rich in variety, and the colors are also very bright, light yellow, light green, brown red, green.
Under the sun, the lush natural scenery is woven.

After viewing the forest-covered land, the group came to the seaside again. The rocks here are also black. It was originally erupted lava, which flowed all the way to the seaside, constantly expanding the area of ​​the island.

These cooled lavas look more muscular, cut like a knife, with sharp edges and corners, so everyone has to be careful and slow down, if they bump into each other, it will be bloody!
Even, Qin Yi directly hugged Angel and Becky until they came to a large, flat lava layer before letting them go.

Seeing them impatiently stepping on the black lava, everyone just smiled, stopped paying attention, and took another round of photos.

It is said that the waves here are really beautiful, hitting the vertical lava wall, causing waves of waves.

One side is black lava, the other side is white as snow spray, one black and one white, one hard and one soft, resisting for centuries
Of course, this is from a small point of view. If you zoom in, you will see that the blue sea and the dark and stable lava are nestled together, which is another delicate taste.

Walking on the famous black sand beach, small yellow coconut saplings grow tenaciously from the cracks in the lava. The cruel and harsh black surface, but tall and short yellow seedlings grow, from near to far , scattered distribution, quite a shock of life.

Because of the itinerary, Qin Yi didn't plan to wait until night to see the red lava. He took everyone to have lunch in a nearby town, tasted the native Hawaiian Kona coffee, and then returned to the yacht.

After that, head all the way to Maui, which is adjacent to the northwest of the Big Island, where the Whale Town is very famous, just to take everyone to appreciate the whales up close.

Every year from October to April of the second year, whales gather near Maui to mate or give birth to baby whales.

From June to September, whale parents usually bring their baby whales, which are several months old, to play in the nearby water and then return to the waters of Alaska.

Maybe we will be able to see the baby whale this time, and everyone is looking forward to it.

Especially the two little girls, who lay down beside the guardrail early, staring at the sea with wide-eyed eyes, for fear that they would miss the opportunity to be friends with the baby whale!

When he arrived in Maui, it was just past two o'clock in the afternoon, and Qin Yi didn't choose to dock. He asked John to go down and go directly to the nearby sea area where whales are most frequent.

At this time, the speed of the yacht has become very slow, which is good for viewing.

But before seeing the whales, Qin Yi felt that the trip was worthwhile, because the sea water here is a very healthy blue, clear and transparent, giving people a very pure feeling, which makes people feel very comfortable after seeing it.

This sea area is not far from the coast, and you can clearly see a line of white beaches covered with dark green tree crowns.

Naturally, there are also many tourists, several cruise ships floating on the sea, and several smaller yachts, all of which are catching whales at a very slow speed.

However, the appearance of the Venus also diverted the attention of many tourists, looking at the shining white yacht in the sun.

The adults leaned on the guardrail, watching the sea carefully, and pointing to the fleeting whales in the distance.

It was too far away to see clearly, only a column of water rose up, and then the whale was found diving and showing its tail as a symbol.

But even so, the two little girls cheered excitedly.

"Uncle Yi, let's go there with a big boat!"

Angel turned her head to look at the whale's tail in the distance, while shaking Qin Yi's arm, her little feet were bouncing, as if she couldn't wait.

"Yeah, Uncle Yi, let's go over quickly, Sister Angel and I are going to make friends with the baby whale!"

Becky also came to shake the other arm, looking very expectant, "Uncle Yi, will they be good friends with us? I can treat the baby whale to eat delicious food!"

"I will, I will!"

Qin Yi raised his hand to touch the little heads of the two girls, and at the same time told John to lean closer.

And Susa and Ke Luo have already started to take pictures. This is the first time for everyone to see the whale so clearly, and they are very pleasantly surprised.
