Wild Hawaii
The Big Island | 8 Days
 
This is Hawaii Beyond the Beach - a place of natural wonders and wildlife that few tourists ever see. In the company of expert guides, scientists, and researchers, we explore on land and by sea the Big Island’s diversity of life. 
 
Hawaii struggles to protect its native wildlife—which includes 317 listed threatened and endangered species—from a number of threats ranging from invasive plants and animals to habitat destruction. Rising temperatures and sea level from global warming will likely add to these challenges. But even as the 50th state encounters unique environmental problems, they are also devising unique solutions. On this trip we get a balanced account of the successes and challenges facing the islands.
