Though its name is Hawaii, the largest island of the Hawaiian chain is
generally referred to as the Big Island. Its varied geography is dominated
by huge mountains and living volcanoes, but includes rain forests and
relatively un-crowded, secluded beaches of the Kona Coast. Hiking trails
range over the island, allowing for exploration of lava fields, the
mountains Mauna Loa and Mauna Kea, Hawaii Volcanoes National Park & even
coffee farms. The unspoiled natural surroundings will lend a feeling of
fantasy to your vacation on the Big Island. There are even more sights to
see in the island's state parks and city of Hilo.
