Hawaiʻi Island is bigger than all the other Hawaiian islands combined, and each side is its own world. Find the tours and things to do near where you are staying in Big Island of Hawaii.
"We are staying in Waikoloa. What is close?"Which side of the Big Island should you stay on?
Most visitors base on the sunny, leeward Kona side, where the water is calmest and the marquee water tours launch. The wetter, greener Hilo side is the island's waterfall-and-rainforest country and the gateway to Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park. The Kohala Coast is resort territory with white-sand beaches, and the uplands sit on the road to Mauna Kea.
