Big Island Airfares

Enjoy eleven different climate zones on The Big Island, and visit Hawaii’s largest playground. Feel the cold breeze as you get close to the snow-capped mountains, or the dry heat of the desert.

The Big Island captures the hearts of many visitors, because of its interchangeable features. Get your backpack on and travel over to the Hawaii National Volcano Park where you can see molten lava flow at Kilauea volcano. Take the kids and go have a snowball fight on top of the world’s tallest mountain, known as Mauna Kea. This phenomenal mountain ranks over its competitor Mount Everest that measures in at 29,092 feet.

Mauna Kea is considered the tallest because it is measured at 33,000 feet and 20,000 of these feet is below the seafloor. If you have an interest in religion then be sure to visit the ancient Hawaiian religious temple, Puukohola Heiau, which is located on the northwestern Kohala coast.

If you’re looking for culture, entertainment, and Hawaiian cuisine then check out the small town of Hilo for a variety of flavors. Need a fruity fix? Then head to the farmers market for a variety of mangos, dragon fruit, and other exotic fruits. Some pros of the island are the phenomenal snorkeling, beaches and scenic volcanoes.

It is a good idea to pick up a lot of brochures when you arrive in The Big Island. They will give you tips on what to see and do around the island and keep you busy for awhile. Some cons may be that you might be twiddling your thumbs after 3 or 4 days. It is probably best to make this trip a short one!
