Hawaii's Big Island Activities

No other island gives you a place to swim with manta rays, horseback ride, and whale watch, all on the same visit.

No other island offers so many cultural treasures in so many varying environments, whether you’re visiting Puuhonua o Honaunau National Historical Park in sunny Kona, taking photos with the original King Kamehameha Statue in Kapaau near lovely Hawi, or walking through Nahuku (Thurston Lava Tube) in Hawaii Volcanoes National Park.
