TMG Hawaii: Full Service Destination Management Company

Five volcanic mountains form this island which is the home of Madame Pele, the Goddess of Fire, as the Polynesian legend goes. As the island continues to form more land from the active volcano – Kilauea Iki, the Big Island’s popularity has grown remarkably. The experiences on this island are very different from the rest of the island chain. You can see stars and planets from huge telescopes at the summit of Mauna Kea, see hot lava as it flows in the ocean, sunbathe on a black sand beach, catch a marlin in the deep channel just off the coast, and much more.

A trip to Volcano National park is the most requested group activity in our experience with operating programs on the Big Island. Also an audience participating rodeo at Parker Ranch, ATV rides on Kohala Ranch and open range horseback riding with Hawaiian cowboys are all winners when it comes to group activities.

Hawaii Volcanoes National Park

“A scene of wild beauty” – Mark Twain 1866

What better place to witness and understand the awesome nature of volcanoes than at Hawaii Volcanoes National Park! The Park Visitor Center has exhibits, displays, and a movie depicting the geologic history of the Hawaiian volcanoes. At the Observatory the story of the volcanoes is told in the context of ancient Hawaiian mythology. Walk through a lava tube for a unique hiking adventure. The park is listed as both a Wild Heritage Site and an International Biosphere Preserve. Through detailed geologic and natural history interpretation, walks and driving, you will explore and learn about the world’s most active volcano.

“Where the ocean meets the stars”…..
Hulihe’e Palace, built in 1838 on the shore of Kailua Bay in Kona,
is unique in everyway.

We created an evening that would utilize this amazing location coupled with sharing the history of this fine Palace. Cocktails were served as everyone watched the sunset, and tours of the palace were conducted by docents. “Signature Chef” food stations were set up in the back yard where many different tastes of Pacific Rim Cuisine were sampled. After dinner, guests were excited to be able to stargaze with astronomers.
