An Introduction to the Big Island of Hawaii

Plan your next big adventure swimming in blue oceans that mirror the sky on the Big Island, the largest island of all Hawaii.  Here the ocean is waiting for you and so are the sea turtles and dolphins.  Swim with dolphins or see a raccoon butterfly fish under water.  Wave “Hello!” to a turtle that swims by.  Lounge on the ocean right outside your hotels front door.  The Big Island is a great place for first time visitors to come and experience the beauty of Hawaii, with your toes in the white sand.

            The Big Island is home to some of the worlds most beautiful and exotic beaches.  From Hilo all the way to Kona, the beaches here are your peaceful getaway to relax and unwind.  Sit on the sand and get lost in the beaches of this beautiful, tropical island.  Hapuna Beach is a beautiful long white beach with cabins you can rent.  Waipio Valley Beach is a sight worth seeing and the trip to this beach makes all the difference as you ride on horseback past waterfalls and black sand on your journey out here.  So many beautiful beaches await you!

            Watch dolphins or swim with them.  The Dolphin watch and Dolphin Quest are sure to appease your sense of adventure.  Take a picture with them and enjoy memories that will last a lifetime.  At the Hilton Waikoloa Village, Dolphin Quest brings you up close and personal with these amazing creatures.  A picture of you kissing the dolphin is a rare opportunity and treat, for you!  Hold their flippers and dance with the dolphins then ride on their backs through the water.

Hike or trek on a bike through 333,000 acres of land created by lava in Hawaii Volcano’s National Park.  This lava wilderness is fun for hikers and bikers too!  Pack a lunch and a bottle of water for this trip to an active volcano.  Kilauea Volcano is a great treat for visitors that want to discover this ancient piece of history.  Since 1983, this volcano has not stopped erupting and currently the most active volcano in the world.  This volcano is just one of five volcanoes you can discover and explore here on the Big Island of Hawaii!

            Visit Kealakekua Bay and snorkel pristine ocean lagoons with fishes colored so brightly, you’ll have to put on your sunglasses!  Swim with schools of yellow tangs and prism colored butterfly fish.  Watch their slender bodies dart in and out of coral reefs.  Then be surprised by a sea turtle waving “Hello!” to you!  Kealakekua Bay is a starting point to fun in the ocean. 

Have fun with family and friends at a sunset bar-be-q!  Ride off into the sunset on horseback with your special someone.  Tour the active Kilauea Volcano by helicopter.  Snorkel all day and enjoy an afternoon sunset that paints the sky pink, yellow, orange, and gold.  Sit in the front row of Hawaiian food and entertainment at Royal Kona’s Luau.  Drive around the island in your dream car, a Hummer, a convertible Corvette, or a two-seater moped.  Go fishing for big game or kayaking, or do both!  Bike, hike, drive, golf, but most of all, enjoy!  The Big Island awaits your next big adventure!
