Hawaii is called The Big Island because it is the largest of the Hawaiian chain and is growing daily from the continual lava flows. It is here, on the island of beautiful contrasts, that you can view lush rain forests, active volcanoes and unique black sand beaches.

Experience fire and ice at Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa, the two tallest mountains in the Pacific. The Hawaii Volcanoes National Park contains one of the world's most active vocanoes. An island rich in natural wonders, the Big Island's fertile soil leads the state in the production of exquisite orchids, heart-shaped anthuriums, rich Kona coffee, sweet papaya, and tasty macadamia nuts. The crystal clear waters off the Kona coast boast some of the best fishing in the world.

The Big Island… big in contrast, big in excitement!
