Big Island, however you want it.

Welcome to Big Island, the largest and most vibrant island in Hawaii! With twice the size of its neighboring counterparts, this island is a true paradise for travelers seeking adventure, culture, and natural beauty. Known as the Island of Hawaii, it boasts a stunning contrast of colors that will leave you breathless. From the fierce reds of magma at Hawaii Volcanoes National Park to the bright white snow of Maunakea, and the electric black sands of Punaluu Beach streaming into the emerald green of the Hamakua Coast’s rainforests, Big Island is a feast for the senses. But this island is not only a natural wonder, it is also a place of great historical significance. It was the first island to be touched by man 1,500 years ago when Polynesian voyagers from the Marquesas Islands arrived, becoming the first Hawaiians. Today, you can still witness the evidence of this early culture in the form of native Hawaiian temple ruins, royal grounds, fish ponds, sacred burial spots, and petroglyphs. And don't miss the Puuhonua o Honaunau National Historic Park, which retains many areas and items of historical significance.
