Recreation

If the people of Hawai’i have learned anything, native or not, it’s how to have a good time. If you love beaches, breathtaking hikes, skydiving, surfing, fishing, hunting, dancing, singing, snorkeling, scuba diving, or community events; these are just some of the things you can get up to in Hawai’i.

In short, some of the reasons for the Big Island’s outdoor fame are the following:


 * The hundreds of miles of coastline for swimmers, snorkelers, and surfers
 * The Hawaii Volcanoes National Park which offers stunning and ever changing landscapes for the stargazers, hikers, and bikers
 * The Kona (west) side of the island which is known for the sunny weather, world-class golf courses, manta ray night dives, and whale watching
 * The Hilo (east) side that boasts lush rainforest hikes, cascading waterfalls (e.g. the Rainbow falls and the ‘Akaka falls), hot springs and easily accessible red-hot flowing lava.
