Hawaii Island is the largest and youngest island in the Hawaiian archipelago and rewards visitors with non-stop opportunities for fun and adventure.

Here you can see an active volcano in Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, where you can hike over 150 miles of trails through scalded deserts, craters, and rainforest, and walk through a 500-year-old lava tube.

There are several heritage and historic sites you can tour, including Kealakekua Bay State Historical Park, where you can scuba, snorkel, or kayak.

The dramatic natural beauty of the island has inspired many artists and you can see their work at several galleries as well as at the East Hawaii Cultural Center and the Lyman Mission House Museum in Hilo.
