(?)

Hawaii is both the name of the chain of islands that constitute America's 50th state, and the name of the Big Island that dominates the chain in the Pacific. Hawaii, the island, is not usually called such by those native to the islands they just refer to it as the 'Big Island'. The name, really, is unimportant however you choose to refer to it, you can be sure you will have a wonderful time when you visit!

Lots For Tourists

The Big Island Hawaii is really "big" on attracting tourists. In fact, it is safe to say that the island is mainly geared for tourism. This is evident in some of the touristy flavored activities that the average person eagerly looks forward to doing on Hawaii. In case you don't know what we have in mind, here are some a few options. You can still participate in luaus, still go walk up a live volcano and still girl watch (or boy watch) on the beach. You can also dance the hula and wear leis.

Want more touristy ideas of things to do? You can drink little cocktails with umbrellas in them and listen to a ukulele player. Don't get me wrong, there still is a big demand for the cute or quaint places catered just for foreign tourists in the Big Island, Hawaii. But the average tourist seems to thrive on the typical Hawaii tourist attractions mentioned above.

Broaden Your Horizons

There's more to Hawaii than just sun-tans and tequila you can learn about the area and it's culture, and pick up new skills whilst having fun. Take dancing lessons, learn coconut leaf weaving, or get your fortune read. You could even take a helicopter tour of the islands to see them from a whole new perspective.

Perfect For Eco Tourists

The 'Big Island' is home to some of the most interesting and unique forms of flora and fauna. If you are interested in seeing some of the fascinating wildlife, in beautiful, well preserved and natural environments, then look for some eco-tourism packages heading to Hawaii. You can hike, bird watch, go kayaking or snorkeling, go camping, or ride horses around the island getting close to nature, while doing everything the environmentally friendly way.

Traditional American Fun

All your normal favorite activities can be enjoyed on the Big Island too shopping, golf, and tennis for example. Hitting the links on a beautiful island with perfect weather, and ocean views is a tremendous experience. Then you can relax on an evening, take in a movie or a concert, and sample some fine Hawaiian cuisine. Check in with the Hawaii Tourist Board for details of current events.
