This day is
free to spend as you wish. Visit Hilo’s Lyman Museum, housed in an 1839
historic missionary home, showcasing the natural and cultural history of
Hawaii. Another option is Hilo’s new NOAA Coral Reef Discovery Center,
which focuses on marine life and the natural and cultural resources
contained within the nation’s largest conservation area, featuring a 2,500
gallon salt water aquarium. Late this afternoon, we’ll return to the
Onizuka Visitor’s Center for our last evening of stargazing, viewing the
summer Milky Way with the hub of our galaxy in Sagittarius and Scorpius
well placed high in the south. |

After
breakfast we’ll depart Hilo for the Kona side of the Big Island. Our first
stop will be at Hawaii Tropical Botanical Gardens, which display a wide

2,000 species. We’ll then continue to Akaka Falls State Park, where water
tumbles 420 feet into a deep gorge. A pleasant, half-mile loop will take
us through a lush rainforest of philodendron vines, wild orchids, bamboo
groves, and hanging heliconia to the 100-foot Kahuna Falls and farther on
to breathtaking Akaka Falls, laden with ferns and other tropical
