Hawaiʻi Island (Big Island) aerial view

Hawaiʻi Island (Big Island), United States

Hawaii Island, the largest in the archipelago, is a land of contrasts: black lava fields and white-sand coves along the sunny Kona and Kohala coasts, active volcanoes in Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, the observatories of snow-dusted Mauna Kea and the green valleys of the north. Its finest resorts sit beside sheltered bays, ancient fishponds and championship golf courses.
