If you are unsure how to divide your time on the Big Island, or just want someone else to make the tough decisions during your vacation, you will love this section! Our Island experts have compiled five itineraries that will allow you to make the best out of your time here.
We describe itineraries for 1-, 2-, 3-, 5-, and 7-day visits. If you want to get a good taste of all the islands treasures, we recommend to spend at least a night in the following three places: Kailua Kona on the west side of the island, Hilo on the west side, and Volcano Village between the other two, on top of the Kilauea Volcano.
Activities unique to the Big Island
The most spectacular place to visit on Hawaii is the Volcano If you really want to enjoy even a fraction of what the Big Island has to offer, you should plan on staying at least 7 days, preferably two weeks. However, we understand that reality often does not allow such a lengthy stay on Hawaii. If you are visiting multiple Hawaiian islands during your visit and have little time on the Big Island, the single most unique place that you should not miss is the Kilauea Volcano. Other attractions unique to the Big Island are Green Sand Beach and the Telescopes on top of Mauna Kea.
The itineraries described in this section highlight the most special features of Hawaii, and are meant as suggestions. We highly recommend you to tailor them to your own taste - taking more time for activities that are close to your heart and perhaps cutting out time on those activities that are not as good a fit to your personal circumstances.
