Island of Hawaii (Big Island)
Hawaiʻi on a grander scale.
Volcanoes, black-sand beaches, lava fields, lush rainforest and some of Hawaiʻi’s finest luxury resorts. The Island of Hawaiʻi is vast, dramatic and wonderfully diverse, with landscapes that can feel like different worlds within a single trip.
Plan your Island of Hawai‘i trip →This is the island for travelers who want more than one kind of Hawaiʻi.
The sunny Kohala Coast is home to some of the island’s most exceptional resorts, while Kona brings restaurants, history and life beyond the hotel. Cross the island and everything changes: Hilo is lush and tropical, Kaʻū feels remote and wild, and volcanic landscapes remind you that this island is still being shaped by nature.
It’s also enormous, which makes where you stay and how you structure the trip especially important. We know when one home base works, when it doesn’t, and how to create a trip that gives you the best of the island without spending your vacation in the car.
The vibe: Dramatic. Expansive. Adventurous. Luxurious.
Come to see Hawaiʻi do things differently.
Experience the landscapes
Lava fields, rainforest, waterfalls, mountains and dramatically different coastlines make exploring part of the experience.
Witness the volcanic side of Hawaiʻi
The island is home to Kīlauea and Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park, giving travelers a perspective they simply cannot get on the other major islands.
Get out on the water
Snorkeling, sailing, diving and marine experiences are particularly strong along the Kona side of the island.
Settle into serious luxury
The Kohala Coast pairs dramatic lava landscapes with world-class resorts, golf, spas and beautiful beaches.
See more than one side of Hawaiʻi
The island has six distinct regions, and the contrast between them is part of what makes being here so interesting.
On an island this big, geography matters.
