The island of Hawaii is called the Big Island with good reason. It's
more than twice the size of all the other Hawaiian islands combined. And
every inch is covered with lush scenery, from rugged volcanoes to
waterfalls and rain forests. It's home to the steaming craters and
hardened-lava rivers of Hawaii Volcanoes National Park.
The Island of Hawaii's is sometimes called the Orchid Isle or the Volcano Isle, but to its residents it's always "the Big Island of Hawaii." A Big Island vacation excites the senses and inspires the adventurer. You can hike into a volcano crater, catch marlin weighing hundreds of pounds, discover our universe from the top of Mauna Ke'a, and outstare a shark from the safety of a submarine porthole. The Big Island has the world's most active volcano: Kilauea has been spewing lava intermittently since January 3, 1983. Vacation secrets abound; let us provide you a guide to the Beach and Ocean, Land, Volcano, and Bargains of the Big Island. |

| Kailua
Kona, Hawaii Located on Hawaii's western shore where the slopes of Mauna Loa and Hualalai meet the sea, the Kona Coast is a region of endless lava fields and golden Pacific sunsets. The clear waters are perfect for diving, snorkeling, and deep-sea fishing. At the heart of the Kona Coast lies the charming resort village of Kailua. Because two other "Kailuas" exist within the state, the Big Island's Kailua is often called Kailua-Kona for clarity.
