Last week we had the privilege of traveling back and forth from Maui to Kona several times. Living in Maui is great, great breeze and sunshine, though it is wonderful to traverse the oceans to the other islands from time to time and experience the difference in scenery as well as, believe it or not, the climatic change. And this past time was the Big Island of Hawaii... specifically Kailua-Kona.
We flew over on a little 10 seat airplane that gives great views of Haleakela and the coasts of both Maui and Kona. You can really appreciate Hawaii so much more when you see it from the air. It is amazing to see these volcanic mounds popping out of the mighty Pacific Ocean. I am amazed every time I think of the remoteness and splendor of Hawaii.
Anyways, this trip I was particularly struck by the bright blues that surround the Kona coast. I snapped this photo from my phone as we were taking off, returning to Maui. It captures the rustic, pure beauty of the Hawaiian Islands, inspiring in their own right. Make sure to make an aerial exploration as part of your Maui or Big Island activities!
