lovebigisland.com website is written by people that love the Big Island for people that love the Big Island. The Big Island is one of the most magical places on Earth with an unparalleled diversity in outdoor wonders, flora and fauna. This diversity is a blessing, but also a curse. Because of it, the Big Island is very vulnerable to outside influences.
Why lovebigisland.com? Malama 'aina!
Malama 'aina is Hawaiian for "take care of the land", and that is exactly what we hope to help you do with this website. Unfortunately, many Hawaii guides are written only with commercial intent and with complete disregard for the Islands and her people. This causes much unnecessary damage to the Hawaiian Islands. We say unnecessary because we firmly believe that no one that visits Hawaii would ever intentionally cause harm to the islands. This is why we have created lovebigisland.com. Our guide helps you enjoy the Big Island in such a way that the next generation will still be able to see why you loved the Big Island so much!
Our mission:
Our mission is to share the Big Island that we know and love in such a way, that the impact of tourism on the Island is minimal. This does not mean we don't send you to the fun places, but rather that we tell you how you can enjoy and respect Hawaii at the same time. We also prefer to send you to local people and enterprises that know and respect the Big Island and are a firm believer in the slogan "enrich the community: Buy Local". What you will not find on our website are "secret beaches" or "hidden hikes". "Hidden" or "secret" often means dangerous, and listing any of these places would place you (and the place itself) in harms way. Let the locals have their private spots, and let yourself be enchanted by any of the easily accessible wonders of the Big Island.
