Things to Do on Hawaii’s Big Island

Visit Hawaii Volcanoes National Park

Not many of us have volcanoes in our backyard. Hawaii Volcanoes National Park gives you a rare opportunity to explore a hardened lava lake and head inside a 500-year-old lava tube. If luck’s on your side, you’ll also have the chance to see glowing lava flows. Hawaii’s beautiful rainforests are also in this park, giving you a variety of landscapes to hike through.

Enjoy Hāpuna Beach

Hāpuna Beach is a beach lover’s paradise. There’s a half mile of white sand, tropical blue water, and even a professional lifeguard on duty. The beach is also on the island’s sunnier side, so you’ll likely have blue skies during your visit. Try visiting nice and early to grab a good spot on the beach and a close parking space.

Walk Through Hawaii Tropical Bioreserve and Garden

Hawaii Tropical Bioreserve and Garden is perfect for nature-lovers! It has over 2,000 different tropical plants and also features streams and waterfalls. There are multiple paths inside this 40-acre garden, so you’ll have plenty of places to explore.
