Blue skies, blue water, white sands and friendly people; there's a reason they call this paradise.
And the Big Island, like the rest of the State of Hawaii, is full of recreational activities.
Ever seen a volcano? The island is home to, Kilauea, considered to be one of the world's most active. Hike Volcanoes National Park - or better yet take a helicopter ride over it!
Love the ocean? Try snorkeling, scuba diving, sailing and deep sea fishing. And don't forget surfing - the native sport.
Play a few rounds of golf overlooking the ocean or watch manta rays while you dine.
Or simply lounge upon a tropical beach and catch some "rays."
No matter what activity you choose, you're bound to catch the "aloha" spirit.
