Activities to do on the Big Island of Hawaii

By Marc Ferguson

The Big Island of Hawaii can keep you busy for days. There are so many different attractions and activities that you can do, that you will need a vacation after your vacation. From the beautiful beaches and coral reefs to the high volcanic peeks. There is much to explore, and many ways to do it. You better not forget to bring a camera along with your trip.

Going up the Wailua River in a kayak is one of the best ways to start. Travel like some many of the ancient people of Hawaii did. As you travel see and hear exactly what they heard. Once you have gone up the river for a bit, make sure to hike the trails to see the Secret Falls with their 80 foot waterfall.

Ride the helicopter tours over the ancient volcanoes of Hawaii, where you will see the volcanoes in a different perspective, some while they are spewing out lava. View the great valleys bellow, and take a peak at the wonderful water falls. These beautiful sites can only be viewed from an air tour.

During the winter months be sure to take a whale watching tour. Hear the whales as they communicate with one another. Watch the whales play and dance with each other. This is something you will never forget. For the evening be sure to check out some of the wonderful dinner shows, which offer dancing and cocktails.

End your day with a dinner cruise that will give you a whole new prospective on the islands. Usually there is a lesson in history of the places you pass by depending on which tour you choose. There is also the added bonus of seeing fish glide along by the boat while you enjoy your romantic dinner and watch the sunset. What a way to end a beautiful day! - 31999
