Big Island of Hawaii Travel Guide

If you have included the Big Island of Hawaii as part of your itinerary, you are in for a highly pleasant discovery (or rediscovery).

As its name suggests, the island is big not just in size but also in its many wonderful sights and attractions. For first-rate hotel accommodations, try one that many customers have raved about – the charming Mauna Lani Bay Hotel & Bungalows which offers a unique Aloha experience located amidst breathtaking sandy beaches, tranquil and historic setting. For the budget-conscious, there are affordable luxury accommodations like Uncle Billy’s Hilo Bay Hotel, half an hour away from the Hawaii Volcanoes National Park.

Your Hawaii travel guide will most likely show that there are many Big Island events all year round. One of them is the annual Merrie Monarch Festival, a prestigious hula competition that delights both tourists and islanders. Held for a week beginning on Easter Sunday, it is a festive celebration of Hawaiian culture that many people enjoy as it combines Hawaiian music and food with arts & crafts.

As may be gleaned from your Hawaii travel guide, you can experience Big Island spirit by beginning your day at the crack of dawn. This is when farmers’ markets (like the popular Hilo Farmer’s Market) start bustling with life. The Hilo Farmer’s Market is teeming with reasonably prices fresh food, including locally grown fresh vegetables, fruits and ready-to-savor goodies, not to mention crafts and clothing. Nearby is the Hilo Bay Sugar Shack,

Some other things you can do, if you will refer to your Big Island of Hawaii travel guide, is to get soaked in the white sand beaches or marvel at snow-capped volcanoes. For underwater fun, the shallow waters of Kahaluu Beach, with its awesome sea life and coral formations, is perfect for snorkeling.
