Hawaii Island, also known as The Big Island, is the youngest and largest isle in the Hawaiian archipelago. It’s also growing—fresh lava from Kilauea, one of the world’s most active volcanoes, continues to create new land and lava rock beaches. But this island has far more to offer than its world-famous volcano. Home to all but four of the world’s climate zones, the Big Island is vast and wild and features some of the most diverse terrain on Earth. Travel beyond the majestic shoreline and you’ll discover tropical jungles and the spectacular, sometimes snow-capped peak of Mauna Kea, which is taller than Mount Everest from seafloor to summit. From world-class coffee farms and picturesque ranchlands to Hawaiian archaeological sites and crystalline coral reefs, the Big Island is a diverse escape full of adventure.
