Hawaii / Hawai'i's Big Island

Experience it.
Discover Hawa'i's most exciting destination.

Hawai'i's Big Island is a world of adventure, beauty, discovery, relaxation and fun. Our Hawaiian Island is a vacation destination without limits because there's so much to see and just as much to do. Twice the size of the other major Hawaiian Islands combined; the island's wide-open spaces are bordered by hundreds of miles of magnificent coastline. Kilauea, one of the world's few active volcanoes, sends new land to a steamy meeting with the ocean below. Eleven distinct climate zones exist here. Rain forests, snow-capped mountains, tropical waterfalls and beaches of many colors are just some of the features that contribute to the islands of Hawai'i's beauty.

Stunning scenery is rejuvenating in its own right, but when it provides the backdrop for all your activities, everything you do is enhanced. Imagine playing golf on the greenest of fairways with breaching whales for a gallery, or touring the Hamakua Coast playing “count the waterfalls”. Whether it's snorkeling our magnificent reefs, hiking our miles of trails or sampling the exotic fruit at our farmers markets, there's an adventure for you.

The island of Hawai'i is also the cradle to the state of Hawai'i's fascinating history. The story begins with the first Polynesian settlers and continues to this day as the cultures of many immigrant groups have blended into the island's rich tapestry. The well-known spirit of aloha has been at the core of the heritage and today it translates into a warm welcome. So, Aloha, and welcome to the Big Island, Hawai'i's Island of Adventure!
