Soak Up the Sunshine on West Hawai‘i’s Coast
Welcome to West Hawai‘i, known as the “Sunny Side” of the Big Island. With just 4 inches of monthly rainfall and balmy temperatures in the 80s, this region is a haven for sunseekers and outdoor adventurers alike. Dive into crystal-clear waters, snorkel among colorful reefs, or catch the perfect wave at some of the island’s top beaches. Stroll through charming seaside towns brimming with local character, boutique shops, and delightful dining spots.
Don’t miss a visit to Ahu‘ena Heiau, a sacred temple built by King Kamehameha I between 1812 and 1813 in honor of Lono, the Hawaiian god of fertility. This historic site served as the king’s personal retreat and final residence, offering a deep connection to Hawai‘i’s rich cultural legacy. As the day draws to a close, watch the sky come alive with the colors of the famous island sunset. From natural beauty to cultural treasures, West Hawai‘i offers endless ways to connect, explore, and unwind.
Discovering East Hawai‘i – Waterfalls, Volcanoes and Rainforest Wonders
Explore the lush East side of Hawai‘i Island—a tropical paradise where vibrant rainforests flourish under an average of 14 inches of monthly rainfall. This fertile region bursts with life, color, and a sense of wild beauty found nowhere else. East Hawai‘i is home to the only natural tropical rainforest zoo in the United States, offering an immersive glimpse into the island’s rich biodiversity. A highlight of the region is Hawai‘i Volcanoes National Park, where an active volcano continues to shape the landscape. With each eruption, the earth is reborn—raw, powerful, and breathtaking. If luck is on your side, you might witness Madame Pele’s fiery artistry in action.
From cascading waterfalls and dramatic coastlines to skies often adorned with rainbows, East Hawai‘i is a sensory journey into nature’s most awe-inspiring expressions. It’s a place where ecological wonder and cultural depth come together in unforgettable harmony.
