Hawaii’s Volcanoes

While you are in Maui, Hawaii, enjoying the natural beauty of the beaches and the whales, a trip to a nearby volcano will add to the excitement of your vacation.

Maui is the second largest of Hawaii’s islands, behind the Big Island, and both islands are mostly inaccessible from land. When it comes to touring the islands, one of the best ways to take in the full experience is to take one of the available flying tours, by aircraft or helicopter.

Flights leave Maui daily, taking visitors for an aerial tour of Maui and the Big Island of Hawaii. These flights take visitors over rain forests, spectacular beaches including black sand beaches, scenic coastline views, dramatic cliffs, and cascading waterfalls. Tour operators also overfly the world’s largest dormant volcano (Haleakala), located on Maui, and lava flows in an active volcano area (Kilauea) on the Big Island of Hawaii.

If you are traveling to Hawaii for the Whale Encounter, chances are that you will also be able to see the whales as you are flying over Hawaiian waters.

If you decide that you would like to hike Kilauea volcano’s lava flows, there are also tour operators who help make this possible too.

Once In A Lifetime

If you only get once chance to go to Hawaii in your lifetime, you should take the opportunity to soak in all that Hawaii has to offer. Take in the whales, the exotic birds and sea life, the beautiful beaches, the Pacific Ocean and Hawaii’s volcanoes, all in the same action packed week.

As the recession sets in, commercial enterprise begins the struggle of staying afloat during an economic downtown. The days of profit taking are now in the rear-view mirror as businesses strive to stay economically viable, while the economy works to right itself. Even the most profitable, most stable companies of yesteryear are finding these times tough. We have all heard the struggles of companies such as Ford, Chevrolet and Chrysler, but other known companies such as Disney, Marriott, and United Airlines are working hard to weather this economic storm.

As a consumer, you and I will begin to see special offers thrown at us, in an effort to attract our dollars to these major travel industry providers. To date, one of the more aggressive companies in the travel discount offers has been the Walt Disney corporation. Whether you are seeking to travel to Disney Land in California or Walt Disney World in Florida, you will find a large variety of discount specials designed to attract your vacation dollars to Disney properties.

Disney World Specials

One such special currently being offered by Walt Disney World is a Buy 4 Get 3 For Free special. We originally mentioned this special in December of 2008, and the special was originally slated to end in December, but now in February of 2009, that special is still ongoing. With this package, if you buy four nights at Disney World, you will get three more nights for free. That is a wonderful special offer.

If you live near an AirTran Airways hub airport, you can get significant air travel discounts for your seven days at Walt Disney World Resorts, when you order your air travel with your Disney vacation. AirTran serves has routes into and out of airports mostly on the East Coast, but also in the Midwest and Plain states, as well as a few western airports. Visit the AirTran website to learn more specific information about the routes that they serve.

If you are planning for a Spring Break getaway, select Walt Disney Resorts are also offering a $74 per night special.

Now, my kids are too young for those dream Disney vacation deals, so I have to look elsewhere for my travel specials. My kids love visiting zoos and animal parks, so that is what we usually do on vacation.

San Diego Zoo Specials

To find the kinds of travel deals I look for, visit any of the zoo websites and you could be very impressed by the travel specials that they offer. For example, the San Diego Zoo is offering wonderful family travel packages. You can get three days and two nights for a family of four, complete with hotel rooms and zoo tickets, for only $144. This package is regularly priced at $534.

For the San Diego Wild Animal Park Safari, you can get the same three days and two nights in a hotel with tickets to the Safari, for only $164. This package also normally retails for $534.

Given that the San Diego Zoo is offering their packages for two-thirds off the regular rate, it is clear that the Zoo is willing to throw away a lot of profits, just to keep the cash registers ringing.

Don’t Be Afraid To Shop Around

Many of the travel destinations that you and I would like to visit, have an online presence in the form of a website dedicated to share information about a given destination.

If you have a travel destination that you would like to visit this summer, don’t be shy about seeing if they have a website. If you do, you might just find that the destination is offering some pretty handsome travel deals this spring and summer.
