Considering a vacation to the Big Island?
The Big Island of Hawaii offers a wealth of recreational activities including surfing, snorkeling, and hiking, as well as some of the best beaches on the planet, all just minutes from Kona International Airport (KOA). It also boasts a bucket-list worthy opportunity to see red-hot magma break the surface in Volcanoes National Park, a great chance for an Instagram selfie.
But what are the best things to see and do on the Big Island? This really depends on you. Most first-time visitors opt to stay on the Kona Coast on the western side of the island because the weather is almost always warm and sunny, and the sandy beaches are plentiful and easily accessible. This side of the island is also popular because of the restaurants, shopping, and nightlife, plus it's just minutes from Hawaii's main airport, Kona International Airport.
The eastern side of the island, while not as popular or crowded due to the 100+ inches of rain it gets each year, also has its charms. While a rainstorm isn't ideal for tanning on the beach, the precipitation, along with Hawaii's warm climate, produces lush rainforests and amazing waterfalls. While you could easily spend a week exploring this side of the island, many visitors opt for a day trip of sightseeing and hiking or a few nights to soak up the local vibe.
