More than a hundred self-guided field trips on six islands will inspire you to get outdoors and explore nature on your own.

How, when, and where you can listen to whales singing.
Where to see unique Hawaiian plants and birds.
Why coral reefs are teeming with weird, wonderful life forms, and the best reefs to visit.
Why Hawai‘i is the best place in the world for stargazing.

How volcanoes make new Hawaiian islands, and the forces that make these islands travel and eventually disappear.
How plants and animals made their way to the most isolated place on the planet, and what makes Hawai‘i a natural laboratory for evolution.
The amazing story of Polynesian voyagers who navigated to Hawai‘i by the stars.
