Big Island of Hawaii

Welcome to Big Island of Hawaii

The Big Island of Hawaii is the largest, youngest, and most volcanically active Hawaiian Island. Natural and unspoiled, the Big Island features live volcanic highlands with elevations that sometimes get snow, remote jungle valleys with waterfalls and empty beaches, and a rich coral ecosystem offshore. Along the shoreline, one of the world’s most varied beach landscapes contrasts black sand at Punaluu with many scattered stretches of pure white and regular sand beach. Off the beach, there is excellent snorkeling and much marine life from sea turtles to dolphins, whales, and endangered monk seals. Rich Hawaiian culture, traditional hula, delicious food, and famous Kona coffee are Big Island highlights.

Sorting, ranking, and search results

Activity name

Cool Hawaii wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That's why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.

On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You'll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.

If you see a Badge of Excellence label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Cool Hawaii over a 12-month period.

The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We're always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
