“The Big Island” of Hawaii is an incredibly diverse vacation destination, and the only Hawaiian island with an active volcano! As you explore the island you can discover a Black Sand Beach, a Royal Palace, many botanical gardens – and the only Zoo located in a rainforest in the entire United States. The 14,000-ft dormant volcanos of Mauna Kea (home to the H.R. Keck Observatory) and Mauna Loa rise above the quaint towns of Waimea and Hawi – while on the other side of the island you can often find lava meeting the ocean in clouds of billowing steam in Volcanoes National Park! World famous for the Sportfishing off the Kona coastline, you’ll also find ATV, Bicycle, Helicopter and Snorkeling Tours – even Wine Tasting. The activity companies we feature here are the very best of the Big Island!

Big Island Air Activities
The Big Island of Hawaii is twice as large as all the other Hawaiian islands combined, and there’s no way to truly experience and see all this epic scenery except by air. From the world-renowned Hawaii Volcanoes National Park where you’ll witness active lava regions and often times even lava flowing from the world’s most active volcano – to the peak of 14,000ft high Mauna Kea (home to the W.M. Keck Observatory) you’ll be amazed at the variety of things you can see on the Big Island. Helicopter above the majestic landscapes of the Hamakua Coast and the Waipio Valley’s 2,000ft. seacliffs and 1,200ft. cascading waterfalls for an experience you’ll never forget!
Big Island Water Activities
Exploring the Big Island by sea is something you won’t want to miss! Its the perfect place for family holiday fun in Hawaii, whether you plan to stay close to the resorts of the Kona coast and ancient fishing village of Miloli’i or explore further. You’ll be able to visit hidden black sand beaches, scuba or snorkel in crystalline waters, take a submarine tour – you’ll even find one of the largest natural dolphin habitats in the world at Dolphin Quest in Waikiloa Village. Some of the calmest and clearest waters in the state can be found on the Kona side of the island so you’ll want to make sure to try some snorkeling!
Big Island Land Activities
You’ll find quiet Hawaiian rainforests amid nearby lava landscapes littered with huge craters and hidden lava tubes on the Big Island of Hawaii. Home to the world’s most active volcano, the island is changing constantly and nowhere more so than in Volcanoes National Park. An island of many contrasts, you’ll be learning about science, history and culture as you take in the spectacular vacation experiences you’ll be enjoying in locations as diverse as the pristine Waipi’o Valley Rim Trail, a volcano observatory, the rolling green hillsides of Parker Ranch, or the quiet and healing countryside of Waimea and North Kohala.
