“If you truly love nature, you will find beauty everywhere.”
Vincent Van Gogh
The Big Island of Hawaii is a paradise for travelers who love nature, adventure, and culture.
With a range of climates, landscapes, and attractions, every corner will amaze you.
Here are some of the highlights of the Big Island that you shouldn’t miss:
Volcanoes
The Big Island is home to two active volcanoes, Kilauea and Mauna Loa, that shape the island’s geology and ecology. You can witness the power of nature at Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, where you can see lava flows, steam vents, craters, and more. You can also hike, bike, or drive around the park and explore its scenic trails and viewpoints. If you’re lucky, you might even see lava entering the ocean and creating new land.
One of the most thrilling experiences on the Big Island is snorkeling or diving with manta rays at night. These gentle giants can have a wingspan of up to 18 feet and feed on plankton near the surface of the water. You can join a tour that will take you to a spot where manta rays congregate and illuminate the water with lights to attract them. You’ll be amazed by their grace and beauty as they glide and somersault around you.
The Big Island has some of the most unique and stunning beaches in the world, with sand colors ranging from white to black to green. You can relax on the soft and powdery sand of Hapuna Beach, one of the best beaches in America. You can marvel at the contrast of black sand and turquoise water at Punalu’u Beach, where you might also spot some endangered green sea turtles. You can hike to the rare and secluded Papakolea Beach, where the sand is green due to the presence of olivine crystals.
Hawaii Tropical Botanical Garden
Tropical lush lands: The Big Island is also a haven for lush and tropical vegetation, especially on the east side where the rainfall is higher. You can immerse yourself in the greenery and tranquility of the Hamakua Coast, where you can find waterfalls, gardens, valleys, and forests. You can visit the Hawaii Tropical Botanical Garden, a 40-acre nature preserve that showcases over 2,000 species of plants from around the world. You can also drive along the scenic Hamakua Heritage Corridor and stop at various attractions along the way, such as Waipio Valley, Akaka Falls, and Laupahoehoe Point.
Mauna Kea
Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa: The Big Island is also home to the two tallest mountains in the world when measured from their base on the ocean floor. Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa are both dormant volcanoes that rise over 13,000 feet above sea level and offer spectacular views of the island and beyond. You can drive to the summit of Mauna Kea and visit the Mauna Kea Observatory, one of the best places in the world for stargazing. You can also hike or bike on the slopes of Mauna Loa and enjoy the panoramic scenery and diverse ecosystems.
The Big Island of Hawaii is where you can experience the best of both worlds: the fiery and the serene, the ancient and the modern, the land and the sea. It’s a place where you can discover the rich and diverse culture, history, and nature of Hawaii. 🌺
