Hawaii – Big Island

Things to do in Hawaii – Big Island :

  • Get up close and personal with a shark adventure in the Pacific Ocean. It was really beautiful just to see the sharks swim so close by.
  • Participate in an authentic cattle drive! This is one of my favorite experiences on the Big Island and even beginner riders can participate.
  • View deep lush valleys and silver flows of molten lava from above with a helicopter ride with Paradise Helicopter Tours.
  • Explore caves, lava tubes and craters at Volcanoes National Park.

Hotels in Hawaii – Big Island :

  • My open air room at Kona Hula Girl Vacation Rentals was light and breezy and a perfect “home away from home.”
  • Aloha Vacation Cottages was a wonderful place to call home for my stay. What really impressed me was all of the wonderful attention to detail and the little “extras” that made the cottages really stand out.

Food in Hawaii – Big Island :

  • The Vanilla Experience lunch at Hawaii Vanilla Company was educational, entertaining and delicious farm to table experience.

Pictures of Hawaii – Big Island :

There is so much breathtaking beauty to capture on the island. Want to lose yourself in in the magic of Hawaii? Daydream on over to my Hawaii – Big Island photo gallery.
