We loved the black sand beaches, amazing sunsets, watching turtles, learning to hula dance, and all the fun activities in the Big Island of Hawaii. Here are some details about the best things to do on the Big Island of Hawaii and you will see why it is our favorite Hawaiian island.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kona <\/strong>(west) side of the island is known for its sunny weather, world-class golf courses, manta ray night dives, and whale watching.  Hilo <\/strong>(east) side boasts lush rainforest hikes, cascading waterfalls as the Rainbow falls and the Akaka falls, hot springs, and easily accessible red-hot flowing lava. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We did two road trips while we were on the Big Island of Hawaii \u2013 one to Akaka Falls State Park <\/strong>to see the Akaka Falls, a spectacular 420 ft waterfall which is certainly one of the most attractive of the accessible waterfalls on the Big Island and then to Hawaii Volcanoes National Park<\/strong>.  A visit to the Big Island won’t be complete without a trip to Pu\u02bbuhonua o Honaunau<\/strong>, which gives a glimpse into Hawai\u02bbi\u2019s ancient culture.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n
