Big
Island Adventures
Hawaii's Big Island offers
you adventures that are fascinating and interesting.
It is easy to get around on the Big Island. There is
one major road that will take you completely around
the whole island. You can visit the Hilo side (east)
or the Kona side (west). The Kona side is full of world
class resorts and golfing and miles of gorgeous beaches.
The Hilo side offers lush rain forest and a fiery volcano.
Here are just a few ideas to get you
started on planning your Big Island adventure:
- Snorkel the Kohala Coast. Red Sail
and Ocean Sports located at Anaehoomalu Bay on Waikoloa
Beach Resort offers you snorkel, sunset and whale
watching sails.
