Travel Itinerary:
One Week on the Big Island
When planning their Big Island
vacation, many visitors do not anticipate the huge size of the island
and how much there is to see.� We recommend one week on the Big
Island - this will allow you to see the attractions and still not feel
rushed.� Below is a sample itinerary for a one week visit to the
Big Island.� Because these schedules are just rough guidelines, we
have omitted times to allow you more flexibility in planning.
