The Island of Hawai'i is also called the Big Island or Hawai'i Island and is a volcanic island (the eastern-most and southern-most in the Hawaiian islands chain) in the North Pacific Ocean. It is the largest of all the other Hawaiian Islands and is the largest island in the United States. Traditionally, Hawai'i is known as the "Big Island" to reduce confusion between Hawai'i Island and the state.
The Big Island has it all. Nowhere else in the world will you find the diversity available here. Pristine rain forests, lava deserts, world-class beaches, snow-covered mountains, an active volcano and dazzling sunsets.
Hilo, where we are based until 7th April, is a charming mix of old and new Hawai'i. Once a thriving town bolstered by limitless sugar revenues, the demise of the sugar industry has kept Hilo in a time warp. Though a full-fledged city, things move slower here, and the community is tight. They've been through a lot. Lashed by tsunamis, threatened by lava flows, racked by a changing economy, Hilo has withstood it all. Hilo is also a strikingly beautiful town. Abundant rains give the flora
a healthy sheen that soothes the soul.
