 BIG
ISLAND HAWAII
The
Island of Hawai'i is sometimes called the Orchid Isle or the Volcano
Isle, but to its
residents it's always
"the Big Island of Hawaii." A Big Island vacation excites the senses and
inspires the adventurer. You can hike into a volcano crater, catch
marlin weighing hundreds of pounds, stare into the heavens from the
snow-capped summit
of Mauna Ke'a, and relax, swim, kayak, and snorkel at a black sand,
white sand, or even green sand beach. The Big Island has the
world's most active volcano: Kilauea has been spewing lava
since January 3, 1983. Read about the latest Kilauea Volcano Lava Flow.
