Big Island in a nutshell
Hawai'i (or Island of Hawai'i) is the largest of the Hawaiian Islands and the largest island in the USA.
Because of its somewhat confusing name, which is often confused with the name of the entire archipelago, it has been given the name „Big Island“, which is usually used in official materials.
The Big Island is the most diverse of all the Hawaiian islands. It is dominated by two huge inactive volcanoes and one smaller, but most active volcano in the world.
The 10 best accommodations on the Big Island
Here you'll find jungles, wide lava fields, Hawaii's most beautiful beaches, fabulous valleys, luxury resorts and breathtaking scenery with wild coastlines and the Pacific Ocean, and places completely removed from human civilization.
Natural beauty lovers and those of you who like to enjoy a holiday without the extreme crowds of tourists will be especially pleased. For some unfathomable reason, the Big Island is the least visited in proportion to its size (it's bigger than all the Hawaiian islands combined).
