The Big Island

Sometimes confused with the state name of Hawaii, the Island of Hawaii is known casually as just "The Big Island". And big it is! Covering 4,028 square miles, the Big Island (or the "Orchid Isle") is the youngest and largest of the Hawaiian Islands - twice the size of all the other major Islands combined. Not known for expansive beaches, the Big Island more than makes up for it in other aspects. It is home to two active volcanoes, sweeping ranchlands, rainforests, wonderful deep-sea fishing off its coast, a number of lush resort areas unrivaled in the island chain, and some of the best golf in the world. Most of the tourist activity on the Big Island takes place on the leeward (Kona) side and at Volcanoes National Park (Hawaii's #1 tourist attraction). Indeed, no visit to the Big Island would be complete without a visit to Volcanoes National Park to pay your respects to Madame Pele. But there is much more to the Big Island than the volcano, and it takes some time to see it all. Until recently, upcountry Waimea's Parker Ranch was the largest privately owned cattle ranch in the world, and ranching and agriculture continue to be the Big Island's economic mainstays , particularly beef, Kona coffee, macadamia nuts, fruits and tropical flowers. The Resorts are located in coastal areas such as Hilo, Kailua-Kona, and the Kohala Coast, leaving much of island's interior untouched. If you're into hiking, eco-tours and the like, this is the perfect island for you Or, if you prefer being pampered in luxury hotels, playing golf or just swimming and sunning, this also is the island for you. You may never want to go home!
