Welcome to Island of Hawai‘i
Hawai'i Island, the largest and youngest in the archipelago, captivates with its elemental power and extraordinary diversity. From the awe-inspiring active volcanoes of Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park to the celestial splendour of stargazing on Mauna Kea, the island invites travellers to experience nature in its most magnificent and primal form. The striking contrast of ancient lava fields, lush rainforests, and dramatic black sand beaches weaves a compelling narrative of ancient landscapes and the raw beauty of nature. The rich culture of Hawai'i Island, deeply rooted in the mythology of Pele, the goddess of fire, instils a profound respect for natural rhythms, and the many historic and heritage sites offer a glimpse into the past and ancient Hawaiian traditions.
Discover the Magic of the Island of Hawai‘i
On Hawai‘i Island, the Hawai‘i Volcanoes National Park and its active volcanoes, including the impressive, and often erupting, Kīlauea, are a must-see. Here, visitors can hike through steaming lava fields and experience the Earth's geological dynamics up close. Another highlight is stargazing at the Mauna Kea Observatory, where the clear skies offer unique views of the universe. Those interested in culture should visit the Puʻuhonua o Hōnaunau National Historical Park, a sacred site that offers deep insights into ancient Hawaiian life. Local farm tours, such as a coffee tour in the Kona Coffee Region, provide an authentic glimpse into the island’s agriculture, while the black sand beaches of Punaluʻu, with their mystical atmosphere, leave a lasting impression.
