Hawaii's Big Island - also just called Hawaii - is the largest of the Hawaiian islands and has vastly different climates - basically covering most of the world’s climate zones. The island isn't very populated and has a lot of farmland and volcanoes, so it feels very remote and even desolate as you drive from town to town. Additionally, there aren't many sandy beaches on Hawaii, most are volcanic and rocky. A lot of travelers love the feel of the big island because of the diversity of climate and solitude they experience while vacationing. From waterfalls, black sand beaches, coffee plantations and gardens to the largest ranches and sugar cane farms in the Hawaiian Islands, this is an amazing place to visit.

    Tom, I haven't been in Hawaii for long, long time. Living out east, the trip to Hawaii requires a good bit of travel time. Using the same amount of time in the air, I can be in Europe, Central or South America. I had fun in Hawaii and enjoyed the visits, but I have other places to explore.

    Nice write up.

    Nice write up - we have been on 2 trips to Hawaii and have to say the big island was our favorite and after that Kauai. Love the islands and plan on a return trip at some point - we want to see Lanai and Molokai - have not been on those 2 yet

    Back in 2007 we did our honeymoon at the Royal Hawaiian on Oahu, spent a night at Hotel Hana Maui, and finished with a few nights at the Four Seasons in Wailea, Maui where I got my scuba-diving certification --- Great times were had

    Tom we're big fans of the Aloha State, especially the Big Island and Kauai.

    Last time we visited, we took a group of associates (a business convention) on an extended helicopter tour....a huge 'rush' seeing Kilauea erupting, followed by an extremely low flight across the Pacific (I swear there was moisture on the windscreen from the top of the surf), finishing with a once in a life time close encounter of the waterfalls of the upper Wailuku River.

    When I lived in the middle of the US, I made a couple of trips to Hawaii and enjoyed the islands and the whole experience. Now that I live on the east coast, it just seems like such a long trip when I can easily hop down to the Caribbean.
