Island of Adventure

Hawaii's Big Island is a world of adventure, beauty, discovery, relaxation and fun. The Hawaiian Island is a vacation destination without limits because there's so much to see and just as much to do. Twice the size of the other major Hawaiian Islands combined, the island's open spaces are bordered by hundreds of miles of magnificent coastline. Kilauea, one of the world's active volcanoes, sends new land to a steamy meeting with the ocean below. Eleven distinct climate zones exist here. Rain forest, snow capped mountains, tropical waterfalls and beaches of many colors are just some of the features that contribute to the island of Hawaii's beauty.

Stunning scenery is rejuvenating in its own right, but when it provides the backdrop for all your activities, everything you do is enhanced. The island of Hawaii is also the cradle of the states of Hawaii's fascinating history. The story begins with the first Polynesian settlers and continues to this day as the cultures of many immigrant groups have blended into the island's rich tapestry. The well known spirit of aloha has been the core of that heritage and today it translates into a warm welcome.
