Hike or bike hidden rainforest trails.

The Big Island has it all! From pristine rainforests to snow-capped mountains and white sand beaches. The Big Island, called Hawai'i, is over 4000 square miles and growing. All of the other Hawaiian Islands could easily fit inside the Big Island. The diversity extends from weather to nature. 10 of the world's 15 climactic zones all co-exist on this one island.

The Kona area and Kohala coast have the clamest, clearest water of all the Hawaiian Islands. Water sports and fishing are abundant and unequalled in Kona.

The Mauna Lani and Fairmont Orchid resorts are located on the sunny Kohala Coast of Hawaii. With 357 days of sunshine a year, average rainfall of 7 inches and an average daytime temperature of 78 degrees, this is indeed perfect paradise. 

Hilo encompasses lush green rain forests and stunning waterfalls. The Hilo side is a horticulturists delight with giant flowers, ferns, and palms.

It definitely takes more than one trip to experience all the adventures to be had on the Big Island of Hawaii!
