USA - HAWAII : HAWAII'S BIG ISLAND OF ADVENTURE  Diversity of culture; Hawaiian artistry and hula; genuine “Aloha” spirit; some of the most striking natural beauty on earth; world renowned spas, resorts, restaurants and distinct agriculture, flora and wildlife .… the adventure of a lifetime awaits visitors on Hawaii’s Big Island. Whether your pursuits take you to the top of Mauna Kea, the world’s tallest mountain from base to summit, or 100 feet below the surface of the Pacific Ocean in a submarine, the Big Island is the ultimate destination. Although Hawaii’s Big Island is the youngest of the Hawaiian Islands – in fact it continues to grow daily as the eruption of the Kilauea volcano oozes more lava into the ocean – it is one of the richest in history and culture. The people of the Big Island pay homage to their ancestors through practicing and celebrating ancient art forms, maintaining traditional and modern hula and the Aloha spirit that has been passed down from generation to generation. The Big Island is one of the most diverse ecological environments in the world, offering 11 of the 13 climactic regions found on the globe. It’s the ideal place to produce macadamia nuts, pure Kona coffee, orchids, tropical fruits, and vanilla, to name a few of the agricultural choices found on Hawaii’s Big Island. The ecological variety also offers visitors the chance to horseback ride through a rain forest and snorkel with sea turtles and manta rays all on the same island, making it the ideal vacation spot for both adventure seekers and families. Whether guests stay in Hilo, the second largest city in the state of Hawaii`i; the lively Kona area with its shops and restaurants; the exclusive Kohala Coast luxury resorts and golf destination; or right on the crater of an active volcano – Hawaii's Big Island has incredibly luxurious, unique and charming accommodation options.
