Hawaii Island or the Big Island is the largest and youngest of Hawaii’s islands and the best island to visit for culture, hiking and wildlife.
An island of contrasts - you ll find red-hot flowing molten magma sliding into the ocean; the snow-covered peak of Mauna Kea - standing at 4,205 metres above sea level, it is the highest point in Hawaii and one of the only places in the world where you can drive from sea level to 14,000 feet in around two hours; the lush green valleys and rainforests on the Hamakua Coast; surreal lunar-like lava deserts and beaches lined with black, white and green sand.
On Hawaii Island, you can experience eight of the earth s 13 climactic zones all on the one island. Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, home to two of the most active volcanoes in the world is a highlight. Watch as blistering lava flows into the sea from Kilauea, producing 230,000-600,000 cubic metres of lava per day. Take the 17 kilometre Crater Rim drive that circles its caldera or walk through a 500-year old...
lava tube.
