From the entrance of Hawai&#8217;i Volcanoes National Park it is about 45 kilometers or 30 minutes to reach the beach. Directly on the beach there is a small gravel parking lot as well as a little further along the road even a larger asphalted parking lot at the picnic and toilet houses. Parking is free here.<\/p>\n<p>As the name suggests, Punalu&#8217;u Black Sand Beach is a <strong>beach with black sand<\/strong>that has a high concentration of black volcanic gas. Such black beaches are created when liquid lava flows into the ocean, quickly solidified by the cold water and disintegrates into tiny particles. The waves then break down these particles into smaller sand fragments and through the currents they are washed back to shore. <\/p>\n<div id=\"jig1\" class=\"justified-image-grid

Since the price of 20 US dollars per person (back and forth) was found quite high, we decided to run the almost <strong>4 kilometer long distance (one-way).<\/strong> As hikers, we were not alone on the route, but we estimate that about 90 of the visitors use the shuttle service. By the way, it is not recommended to drive the route with your own rental car (unless you have a jeep), as the way is really very sandy and full of big potholes and stones. <\/p>\n<p><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/d\/embed?mid=1ZB7En1ty0yab0VF1z-bLk97_J69zyE7L\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>The hike goes down sandy paths to the sea and then always along the coast.

Yes, the sand <strong>shimmered slightly greenish,<\/strong>but we had imagined that somehow a little more intensely. We were even too lazy and too tired to go down the steep slope to the beach, because we still had the 4 kilometer long way back in front of us. So we quickly took some photos and walked back towards the parking lot. <\/p>\n<p>Incidentally, the unusually green hue of the sand comes from <strong>olivine crystals<\/strong>that erode from basalt (lava). The crystals are heavier than most sand species on the beach and remain behind when lighter grains of sand are washed away by strong wave activity.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_22791\" style=\"width:

Here we were on O'ahu, Kaua'i, Maui and Big Island. Because we were so enthusiastic about the different islands and the diversified nature, we were able to make up for all the things we had not been able to do last time or which were partly not even possible. In 2015, for example, you couldn't see flowing lava on Big Island, because it didn't flow towards the sea as usual, but towards an inhabited village. And this was closed for access for the safety of all. But since 2016 the lava of Kilauea is flowing towards the ocean again and so we could finally realize one of our biggest wishes: To stand very close to flowing lava. We also wanted to snorkel on O'ahu in Hanauma Bay, climb Koko Head Crater, see a hula show, marvel at the fireworks of the Hilton Hawaiian Village Waikiki Beach Resort, enjoy the sunrise on the 3,055 meter high Haleakala and watch the turtles on the beach along the Road to Hana. So many things we didn't know about last time or didn't manage to do last time.\r\n\r\n<div class=\"a10\"><br><\/div>\r\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/one-million-places.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/bilder\/sonstige\/route-hawaii-2017.jpg\" alt=\"Travel Reports Hawaii\" width=\"1200\" height=\"400\" class=\"aligncenter size-full\" \/>\r\n\r\n&#187;
