Hawaii Island
What you need to know before you go
Hawaii Island is called ‘Big Island’ for good reasons – it’s ‘big’ in both size and natural beauty. It’s where you’ll find 4 of Hawaii’s 5 active volcanoes and it’s an island of stark contrasts, where even a short road trip treats you to drastic changes in scenery. Discover verdant valleys and rainforests with dreamy waterfalls around the ‘windward’ northern and eastern sides and sunny bays, historical sites, and sheltered beaches around its ‘leeward’ southern and western sides.
With its varied landscapes, a wide range of accommodation options follow suit. These range from luxury beach and golf resorts to countryside B&Bs that let you stay closer to the magnificent nature and scenic hiking trails. Find ultimate relaxation in Hilo, lush farmlands in Kohala, excellent surfing and snorkelling in Kona, intriguing history in Kau, and adventures in the lava land of Hawaii Volcanoes National Park.
