Explore Big Island Hawaii

Hawaii's name sake island, also the largest of the chain, has some of the most unique sights for visitors. The island is made up of five separate volcanoes, of which three are active and one has been continually erupting since the late 1980s. The red hot lava that pours from the Kilauea volcano is a fascinating natural occurrence and a rarity to witness. As a result of the lava that is constantly being added to the area, the beaches on the Big Island are a Hawaiian dream! Visit the pure white ribbons of coastal Kailua-Kona, the emerald sands of the Puna region, or the black beaches of Punalu'u, each a drop of paradise.

The Big Island is more than just sandy perfection. For nature enthusiasts and adventure seekers, Hawaii offers an unparalleled mixture of elements. There is endless opportunity to explore, from the deep thickets of the rainforest to the blustery summit of the volcano peaks. The Big Island also houses the second largest waterfall in the world: Akaka Falls, a graceful giant that is simply spectacular.
