SOUTH OF VOLCANOES NATIONAL PARK
Sea Turtles & Tasty Treats
If you are headed to Volcanoes National Park, you may want to stretch your legs in Punaluʻu town or just stay here and lounge on a black sand beach. When you make it to Punalu’u you do not want to miss the Punalu’u Bake Shop for ice cream, malasadas (Portuguese donut) or lunch. Punalu’u, is also best known for the beautiful black sand beach and lily pond, home to many honu (green sea turtle). The turtles love to bask in the sun on this particular beach most of the day and if you snorkel you are sure to see them in the water. This area of the island is also known to have some of the best coffee in the world, make sure to stop by one of the many roadside coffee stands for a sample!
We recommend contacting organisations directly to get the most up to date information about their operations.
