The aptly named Big Island is fantastically diverse, with miles of highways and – better yet – byways to explore, from age-old fishing villages to modern megaresorts, from snowy peaks to sandy beaches. Hawaiʻi is twice as big as the other Hawaiian islands combined, and its dramatic terrain will surprise you and take you to extremes. Less than half a million years old, Hawaiʻi is a baby in geologic terms. It’s here you’ll find the Hawaiian Islands’ highest and largest volcanic mountains – and the world’s most active volcano, spewing molten lava continually since 1983. Circumnavigate the Big Island and watch stark lava desert morph into rolling pastureland and misty valleys, weathered by rain, waves and time. Ancient history looms large on Hawaiʻi, a place of powerful mana (spiritual essence). The first Polynesians landed at Ka Lae, where the windswept coast remains pristine and undeveloped, and Kamehameha the Great was born in Kohala. Hula and oli (chant) are powerful forms of living history on the Big Island, which has birthed legendary hula and Hawaiian music masters, as well as the celebrated Merrie Monarch Festival. Wherever Plantation days are long past, but not their colorful legacy. Waves of immigrants who you go, labored in the cane fields added their languages, foods there’s a and cultures to the mix. Today, there’s no ethnic majority and common bonds are intangible: the pidgin vernacular, sense of an easygoing manner and deep love of the ʻaina (land). freedom Hawaiʻi is untouristy. Thanks to its sheer size, and there’s lots of legroom. While Kona caters to travelers en masse, most island towns are rural and made for frontier residents instead. Even the capital seat, Hilo, is a former plantation town that’s still slow-paced and populated by kamaʻaina (people born and raised in the Hawaiian Islands). Wherever you go, there’s a sense of freedom and frontier. The Big Island is a guaranteed big experience.
