Raise Your Vacation Expectations on the Big Island

The island of Hawaii, also known as the Big Island, probably has more volcanoes than the last destination you visited. It probably has more black sand, fresh breezes and crashing waterfalls, too. If this sounds like a nice change of pace, it’s best to keep reading…


Hawaii Tropical Botanical Garden captures the essence of the region. Coconut palms, eye-catching flowers and a boardwalk that leads you through the fragrant jungle and alongside Onomea Bay make this a natural wonder rivaled by few others.


Hawaii Volcanoes National Park is considered the centerpiece by many travelers, especially those who don’t often have the chance to visit a World Heritage Site, an International Biosphere Reserve and one of the most active volcanoes on the globe (Kilauea) all in one place.


Hiking trails, lava tubes, royal palaces and observatories will continue to entertain you as you make your way around this lush and action-packed isle. Winding down is no problem, though. Book a spa session, lay on the beach with your co-conspirator in leisure, and enjoy all the fine food and fun drinks that you can handle. There’s also golf, scuba diving, surfing, whale watching, shopping, horseback riding and luaus. Now it just sounds like bragging, but there’s even more to discover if you have the time.


You’ll just have to see for yourself. Make it a romantic break from reality and hide yourself away in a peace-inducing condo, beach house or villa. The wide wonders of this island combined with privacy and comforts at “home” should seal the deal. (Kailua Kona, Kohala Coast, and Waikoloa Beach Resort are top picks). Even if it’s radically different than what you’re used to, you’ll probably survive just fine.
