Hawaii's biggest island is also its youngest, with two active volcanoes, Mauna Loa and Kilauea Caldera, the longest continuously erupting volcano in the world (and a must-see!).

Twelve distinct climate zones exist within its 4,028 square miles. Both sides of this island offer unique delights. Resorts and nightlife occupy the coastal areas of Hilo, Kailua-Kona and the Kohala Coast, leaving the interior a wonderland of natural beauty.

Explore the trails above Waipio Valley on horseback for the sights and sounds of waterfalls and picturesque valleys or spend an afternoon in the lush botanical gardens and dramatic lava fields along the Kohala Coast.
