Explore the Big Island
We highly recommend that you spend some extra days here exploring both the Hilo and Kona sides of the island. There are so many natural wonders here and as the largest and least inhabited Hawaiian island, you can really feel immersed in nature and the magic and power of this place. Here are some of our favorite things to do:
Visit the local Fire Goddess Pelé at her home in Volcano National Park.
Take a swim in the warm, clear blue ocean where sea turtles and fish abound. Our favorite local beach is Carlsmith. On the Kona side of the island (2 hours away), we love Mauna Kea beach and Hapuna.
Explore exotic tropical plants, some of which are only found on this island at one of the island's Botanical Gardens.
Visit the sacred and ancient City of Refuge, Pu'uhonua O Hōnaunau National Historic Park where you can learn about Hawaiian culture and history.
Go stargazing on top of the highest mountain in the world from the sea floor, the majestic Mauna Kea. Here you can look out over the entire island and catch a view of the stars and the universe like nothing you have ever seen! The summit is at almost 14K feet so there is even snow in the winter.
Visit the Imiloa Astronomy Center and take a tour of the night sky through various cultures.
If time allows, plan a couple of days on the Kona side of the island to take in some of the most beautiful white sand beaches and clear blue water in the world. Our favorite beaches are Hapuna, Beach 69 and Mauna Kea.
