Activities on the Big Island
Aloha,
My boyfriend and I will be going to the big island over thanksgiving and I was wondering what activities we should do. Obviously we'll do volcano park, but we're looking for suggestions as well. (snorkeling, horseback riding, waterfalls etc)

Waipio valley has horseback riding tours. Check the white pages because they don't do any big yellow page or glossy ads. It was run by a local resident family so you get a very personal and unrushed tour. The highlight of the tour is riding horseback on the beach (where Waterworld was filmed, the only land scene at the very end in the movie). No cars are allowed into the valley so the beach is very secluded. It was many years ago when I went so check if they are still in business.
