Big Island100 YEARS OF VOLCANOES
It has been a full century since the site of two active volcanoes —
Mauna Loa and Kilauea — was officially named Hawaii Volcanoes
National Park, and its centennial is being marked with a yearlong
celebration. On top of a national parks quilt show and the annual
BioBlitz (a two-day event that invites visitors to find and inventory as
many living plants and animals in the park as they can), there are
monthly Tuesday night After Dark in the Park educational programs
with like-themed daytime hikes each following Saturday. Summer
themes include local salt production sites and a look into park
restoration efforts.

NEWS & NOTES
Take to the seas just like the
ancient Polynesians — who
first settled the Hawaiian
Islands more than 1,000
years ago — on a six-person
outrigger canoe. Maui Pad-
dle Sports offers excursions
in these traditional-style
vessels, which begin with 30
minutes of instruction, fol-
lowed by 90 minutes on
the water. You’ll be led by
two experienced guides,
who share their knowledge
of Maui’s local marine life
and the navigation tech-
niques employed by the
Polynesians.
OAHUSHOP TILL YOU DROP
Waikiki’s International Market Place is set to open anew this August, fresh off a $350 million
redevelopment. Located on a 6-acre site, the three-story open-air shopping center will include
more than 70 retail outlets, including the state’s first Saks Fifth Avenue. Also onboard are several
top-level restaurants, including Roy Yamaguchi’s Eating House 1849, Michael Mina’s The Street
and StripSteak, and Yauatcha, a Michelin-starred dim sum teahouse. Designed to inspire a
Hawaiian sense of place, the retail hub includes a Grand Lanai area for alfresco dining, water
features, native landscaping, and an iconic 100-year-old banyan tree that was purposely pre-
served in the center’s design.
