So Much To See And Do On The Big Island Of Hawaii

Kauai Rentals

Ecologically diverse and sparsely populated, the Big Island of Hawaii is larger than all the other Hawaiian islands combined. Hawaiian rentals allow visitors to discover wonders from snow-capped mountains to rainforests to deserts. Best known for Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, home to the longest volcanic eruption in recorded history, the Big Island caters both to those who crave adventure and to those looking for luxury, with the flotilla of resorts dotted along Kohala Coast. The birthsite of King Kamehameha I and the Mookini Heiau (sacred sacrificial site) are located on the North Kohala peninsula. Hawaiian heiau sites remain sacred today. Lapakahi State Historical Park is a partially restored Hawaiian coastal village which is the setting for daily activities, including storytelling and reenactments of early Hawaiian life. A 262-acre populated marine preserve is also nearby.

Rental property in Hawaii is available in the main towns of this volcanic paradise: Hilo (with the closest airport to Hawaii Volcanoes National Park), Kailua-Kona (a popular resort area on the dry leeward side) and Waimea (near rolling ranch land). Kona coffee, macadamia nuts (plain or chocolate covered), and orchids are among the Big Island's famed exports. Yet, not surprisingly, tourism reigns as the mainstay for what is one of the world's most extreme natural playgrounds. During winter near Hilo, it is quite possible to bronze on the beach while gazing between palms at the snow-capped peak of Mauna Kea. At Volcanoes National Park, the terrain is so moon-like that it served as an astronaut training ground. Whether seeking quiet relaxation, unbridled stimulation or something in between, the Big Island of Hawaii is truly a big provider. Many activities are situated on and around spectacular beaches.

Hawaii condos are an ideal launching point for adventure from ocean kayaking to surfing, from windsurfing to catamaran excursions, from fishing and sailing expeditions to underwater exploration, and for seasonal whale watching.

Away from the shoreline, adventure seekers can hit trails across a glittering black lava field on a mountain biking tour, trek into a mystical rain forest, leap off a precipice and hang-glide over vibrant fields of taro, ride horseback through eucalyptus forests, or strap in for helicopter trips against a backdrop for Jurassic Park. Traditional sports also await, from tennis, to ice-skating, bowling, roller-blading, archery, and clay pigeon shooting.

Hilo has a vast greenspace which offers opportunities for many family activities. Cleared by two devastating tsunamis (tidal waves) in 1946 and 1960, the waterfront space was never re-developed. The area is currently home to Wailoa State Park, with paths and foot bridges meandering around and over a large lagoon, and the Wailoa Center for Culture and the Arts (with rotating exhibits accompanying a permanent tsunami exhibit).

The Hilo Bay Recreational Area is the perfect place to take your keiki for rollerblading, skateboarding and bicycling. While on the Hilo side of the island, stop by the only natural rainforest zoo in the U.S., the Panaewa Rainforest Zoo, which receives more than 125 inches of rain annually. It is home to a variety of rainforest animals and endangered Hawaiian animals, as well as animals from other habitats, and a botanical garden. There's so much to see and do on the Big Island!
