Big Island Hawaii: Must-Do Attractions
The Big Island or Hawai’i Island is not only the largest of all the Hawaiian Islands, but it’s also the youngest and in my opinion the funniest.
Only a 40-minute flight from Honolulu, The Big Island offers so much to see and do.
Whether it’s exploring its active volcanoes, vibrant bays and lagoons, crystal clear beaches, dense tropical rainforests, dark lava tube caves, or if you prefer, you can simply sip cocktails poolside while the sun goes down. The Big Island surely won’t disappoint!
To really experience life on the island I recommend spending at least one week at this majestic, diverse and relaxed destination. It’s a nice change from the hustle-bustle pace and commercialisation of Hawaii’s capital city, Honolulu.
Here are some awesome adventures featured in this video:
1. Roaming around Kona’s Town Centre
2. Enjoying the ocean views at Lava Java Café for brunch
3. Sunset cocktails at Huggo’s on the Rocks
4. Poolside at Royal Kona Resort
5. Frolicking in a private lagoon at Royal Kona Resort
6. Manta Ray snorkeling in Kailua Kona
7. Day spent at Hapuna Beach in Kohala Coast
8. Watching the sunsets in Kailua Kona

I love the view from the Lava Lava Beach Club of A-Bay in Waikoloa Beach. Sitting with your feet in the sand is a great way to enjoy a good meal. Arrive before sunset and your day is complete!

We got the pleasure to observe 2 sea turtles eating their breakfast. These are the Pacific Green Sea Turtles ~Honu ~ found everywhere in Kona. They come to the shore during low tide and feed on over 9 different types of algae found growing on the rocks.

Queen Liliʻuokalani's Aloha OE (Farewell to Thee) Guitar and Bass
Aloha OE
Aloha ʻOe (Farewell to Thee) is Liliʻuokalani's most famous song and a common cultural symbol for Hawaii. The story of the origin of the song has several variations.[1] They all have in common that the song was inspired by a notable farewell embrace given by Colonel James Harbottle Boyd during a horseback trip taken by Princess Liliʻuokalani in 1877 or 1878 to the Boyd ranch in Maunawili on the windward side of Oʻahu, and that the members of the party hummed the tune on the way back to Honolulu. Different versions tell of alternate recipients of the embrace — either Liliʻuokalani's sister Princess Likelike Cleghorn or a young lady at the ranch.[2] According to the most familiar version of the story:
This tender farewell set Liliʻuokalani to thinking, and she began humming to herself on the homeward trip. Overhearing, Charles Wilson observed, That sounds like The Lone Rock by the Sea, a comment with which Liliʻuokalani is said to have agreed. When the party paused to rest in an orange grove on the Honolulu side of the Pali, the others joined in the hummings, and the song was completed later at Washington Place.[3]
The Hawaiʻi State Archives preserves a hand-written manuscript by Liliʻuokalani, dated 1878, with the score of the song, the lyrics, Liliʻuokalani's English translation, and her note evidently added later: Composed at Maunawili 1878. Played by the Royal Hawaiian Band in San Francisco August 1883 and became very popular. A 1913 score can be seen at the Levy Sheet Music Collection.[4]
