Discover Big Island

Hawaii’s Big Island is the largest and most geographically diverse island in the entire Hawaiian archipelago, and there is simply nowhere else on Earth quite like it. Known as ‘The Big Island,’ this extraordinary island is the only place in the United States where you can stand at the edge of an active volcano, watch molten lava flow into the sea, and then drive just a few hours to a snow-capped summit towering above the clouds. Hawaii Volcanoes National Park — home to Kilauea, one of the world’s most continuously active volcanoes — draws adventurers and explorers from every corner of the globe. At nearly 14,000 feet, Mauna Kea offers some of the finest stargazing on the planet, while the sun-drenched Kona Coast beckons with world-class snorkeling, legendary deep-sea fishing, and the magical manta ray night dives that have made Big Island famous among ocean lovers worldwide. From the lush rainforests of Hilo and the dramatic sea cliffs of Waipio Valley to the jet-black sand beaches of Punalu’u and the luxury resorts of the Kohala Coast, Big Island packs an almost impossible range of landscapes, cultures, and experiences into a single destination. Whether you’re a thrill-seeker, a history buff, a foodie, or simply someone in search of the most authentic Hawaii, Big Island delivers an adventure unlike anything else in the Pacific.
