About the Big Island Of Hawaii
The Big Island of Hawaii is the largest of all the Hawaiian Islands. In fact it
is larger than all the other islands put together. It is also the most diverse.
It has 11 of the worlds 13 climactic zones. Everything from tropical to
sub-arctic zones can be found here. The top of Mauna Kea is 13,796 feet high and
with Mauna Loa are the only places in Hawaii that snows. The east side of the
island is lush and green, filled with beautiful vegetation and waterfalls. This
is also where Hilo is located. The second largest city in Hawaii is also
considered the wettest in the U.S. Just to the southwest of Hilo is Volcanoes
National Park. It is open 24 hours a day every day of the year. Kilauea has been
erupting continuously since 1983 and is truly a wonder to behold. On the west
side is Kailua-Kona and the Kohala coast. This is where the sunny resort side of
the island is. The Kohala coast has some of the most beautiful luxury resorts in
the world where the quaint village of Kailua-Kona is home to some of the most
spectacular sunsets anywhere. This is also where most of the fun things to do
are located. Luau’s, Snorkeling, diving, air tours, world class sportfishing,
you can find it all in Kailua-Kona.
