Known as The Big Island, Hawaii is twice the size of all the other islands
combined. The variations of geography and climate here are striking, even
for an island so large.
This Land of Fire and Ice is home to the active Kilauea Volcano, which thrills visitors with its fiery pyrotechnics, as well as the dormant Mauna Kea, which attracts skiers to its snowy slopes. You'll experience the Big Island's contrasts for yourself as we visit both the lush tropical port of Hilo and the arid, sunny port of Kona. Hilo has an annual rainfall of more than 100", earning it the title of America's Wettest City. The result is some of the most spectacular flower gardens, waterfalls and rainbows anywhere in the world.
