Location Features - Hawaii, the Big Island
Booking a holiday on the island of Hawaii is like reserving grandstand seats on the act of Creation. Twice as large as all of the other major Hawaiian Islands combined, it is still being born. Kilauea, the world's most active volcano has been erupting continuously for over two decades, making the Big Island even bigger.
On Hawaii, the Big Island, everything comes in superlatives. The largest privately owned cattle ranch in the country, Parker Ranch, sprawls across 250,000 acres. The world's tallest mountain (measured from its base on the ocean floor), Mauna Kea, stretches toward the stars. From its frigid summit, powerful telescopes are trained on the outer reaches of the universe.
From this virgin soil extravagant flowers burst into bloom - vibrant orchids, monstrous protea, sassy anthuriums, fragrant carnation.
Some of Hawaii's most treasured historical sites are here. At Puuhonua O Honaunau National Historical Park the ancient temple of refuge has been restored. Hulihee Palace, the summer retreat of Hawaiian royalty, resides in Kona. And tour boats sail down to Kealakekua Bay where Captain Cook met his end.
If you want wide open spaces and nature that's bigger than anything you can imagine, come to Hawaii's Big Island.
