Big Island Activities

The Big Island of Hawaii, due to its variable terrain and volcanic activity, is famous for its many shades of sand. The most unique beach on the island is Papakōlea Beach, also known as Green Sand Beach, located near the southern tip of the Big Island.

The Big Island of Hawaii has the world’s clearest skies. In fact, many of the world’s most powerful telescopes are located on the summit of Mauna Kea, nearly 14,000ft above sea level.
