Hawaii Big Island

When staying in condo rentals on the Island of Hawaii, some travelers may be a little intimidated. After all, they are visiting a place that is more commonly known as the Big Island. While this landmass certainly dwarfs the other Hawaiian Islands, there are ways for vacationers to fully explore this Pacific destination in one trip. They just have to figure out what it is they want to see.

Those who have come to the Big Island in search of the natural beauty that Hawaii is famous for should add several sites to their travel itinerary. For instance, at Akaka Falls State Park, individuals can hike their way through a lush rainforest and find the 100-foot Kahuna Falls. However, this is only an appetizer for the main attraction, Akaka Falls, which pours water 442-feet down into an eroded gorge.


Meanwhile, Wailuku River State Park reminds visitors to the Big Island that Mother Nature does not need digital projectors to put on a great show. In this part of the island, travelers will find Rainbow Falls, where water gushes 80-feet down and vibrant rainbows are known to form in the mist. Another impressive display can be found at the nearby Pe'epe'e Falls, which feed into terraced bubbling pools known as the Boiling Pots.

While staying in timeshare rentals in Hawaii, some travelers may want to combine Big Island sightseeing with horseback riding. This is possible thanks to the island's expansive landscapes and ranchers who are more than willing to lend a horse or two.

A variety of horseback experiences are available, so visitors will want to decide whether they would rather take part in a storytelling tour or simply ride through the Island of Hawaii's Waipio Valley.

Of course, no visit to Hawaii would be complete without a trip to the beach. Those who are staying on the Big Island are in for a treat, as its beaches are among the most unique in the U.S.

For instance, those who have only set foot on white sand beaches will want to visit Panaluu Black Sand Beach and maybe see a green sea turtle while they are there. For another colorful experience, travelers need look no further than Papakolea Beach, where they will find green sand.

Vacationers can pack a lot into a trip to the Island of Hawaii. All they have to do is get organized and stick to their schedule so they do not miss out on any of these natural wonders.
