The Big Island is the youngest of the Hawaiian
Islands, so young that in fact, it is still being created by Mother
Nature every day. The world’s largest and most active volcano –
Kilauea – is located here. It spews out lava almost daily, which can
be seen flowing down the cliffs and into the ocean, a truly
spectacular sight, especially at night. Kilauea is just one of the
Big Island’s superlatives. The island is so large and has so much to
offer it is difficult to ever get bored.
Did you know that the Big Island is home to the tallest mountain in
the world when measured from the ocean floor? Mauna Kea rises 13,796
feet above sea level and another 17,000 feet lie beneath the water’s
surface. On top of Mauna Kea is the world’s largest observatory for
astronomy.
The Big Island’s black sand beaches are another favorite visitor
attraction. These beaches are not just called like that. The sand is
indeed pitch black and the ocean water a dark blue. Simply an
unusual and amazing sight. Don’t forget to visit charming Hilo Town,
located on the island’s eastern coast. Not only is this picturesque
town home to the tallest coconut tree in Hawaii (92 feet), but it
also has many interesting museums, gardens and even a zoo. The Big
Island, which is larger than all the other Hawaiian Islands
combined, is truly a superb place to spend a Hawaii vacation.
