Big Island Of Hawaii Sightseeing Tours
Known as the Big Island, the Island of Hawaiʻi is, well, big! The island continues to grow every year as lava from the Big Island’s active volcano extends its reach into the ocean.
As the largest island in the Hawaiian archipelago, there’re plenty of things for visitors to see and do: stargazing, horseback riding, visiting historic cultural sites, golfing, hiking, and participating in a variety of eco-adventures. The island’s duplicitous terrain features the world’s tallest mountain, Mauna Kea, and the currently active Kilauea Volcano in Volcanoes National Park, which is popular with visitors looking for a one-of-kind Hawaii experience. The island also has multiple climates resulting in many different landscapes island-wide. From rainy, lush Hilo, up the mountain to the cooler temperatures of Waimea, to the deserted black flats of Kona, the scenery on the Big Island is far from mundane.
