Hawaii, the Big Island - Hilo HI Family Vacation

Preview: No tour of Hawaii is complete without a visit to the island of Hawaii, known also as the Big Island. This is the largest of Hawaii’s islands, with 4,038 square miles. This is the Hawaii of legendary volcanoes and landscapes of lava-striped earth, complete with the active volcano Kilauea, which still shoots red-hot lava, steaming into the Pacific or oozing over a roadside. On this island you’ll also enjoy good snorkeling, lush gardens, and languid waterfalls. This chapter is one complete vacation written with families in mind. It’s loaded with exciting things to do, family-friendly places to lodge and dine, recommended side trips, local sources of information, and detailed travel directions.
