About Hawaii
The Island of Hawaii, more commonly known as the Big Island, is the most geographically diverse of the Hawaiian Islands. You can find 11 of the world's 13 climate zones on this island, ranging from tropical rainforest to periglacial.
The Big Island was formed by five volcanoes. Two of the five remain active today, Mauna Loa and Kilauea, the most active volcano in the world which has erupted almost non-stop since 1983. Mauna Kea, the largest volcano, is dormant. Kohala is a smaller extinct volcano on the island's northwestern tip and Kualalai is on the west coast.
Waikoloa, on West Hawaii's Kohala Coast, is located at the base of Mauna Kea, about 20 minutes from Kailua-Kona. A resort town and master-planned community, it is known for grand resorts, golf courses and beaches. Kailua-Kona and Hilo are the Big Island's two major cities, each with its own airport.
Kailua-Kona, which is known locally as "Kona", is warm and sunny. Historically, Hawaiian royalty lived here because of the ideal weather. The first missionaries who arrived in Hawaii built homes and churches here. Today Kailua-Kona is a major seaport for the island. Hilo, on the east coast, is cooler and has historically been the center for trade.
Hilo continues to be a primary center for business and shopping and is a popular tourist destination.
