Hawaii Forest & Trail voted Best Office View by Hawaii Business
Hawaii is home to some pretty stunning office views, but the good folks at Hawaii Business Magazine thought we had the best.  When your office is an active volcano or waterfall-laden stream, four walls and window just can’t compare.

For the 2nd year in a row, Hawaii Forest & Trail was voted by West Hawaii Today readers as the Best Outdoor Guided Activity in the annual Best of West Hawaii feature. 

Hawaii Forest & Trail Named 2009 Rand McNally Best of the Road Editor’s Pick
Hawaii Forest & Trial has been awarded the 2009 Rand McNally Best of Road Editor’s Pick.

Each year since 2002, Rand McNally Road Atlas editors comb through hundreds of scenic drives searching for five iconic itineraries as Best of the Road. This year, Hawai’i earned one of the coveted spots.

‘Circling the Big Island’ includes a visit to the summit of Mauna Kea, courtesy of Hawaii Forest & Trail, showing “visitors firsthand how this volcanic island came to be.” The Mauna Kea Summit & Stars Adventure transports guests to the summit if Hawaii’s most sacred mountain for a proactive journey through space and time. After a world class sunset, Interpretive Guides reveal the wonder of the crystal Hawaiian night sky with telescopes and a private star show.

‘It is a great honor to be recognized by Rand McNally. Sharing the nature of Hawai’i is what we’re all about, and it’s exciting to see the Big Island featured in the upcoming edition of Road Atlas,’ said Rob Pacheco, owner.
