It is located at the easternmost end of the Hawaiian chain of islands and is really known for its volcanoes - specifically Mauna Loa and Kilauea; both found in Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park. The island itself was actually created from the eruptions of five separate volcanoes, including Kohala, which is extinct and Hualalai, which is active but currently not erupting. Thats why its no doubt that the Big Island is probably the best place in the world to learn and see volcanic activity. Besides volcanoes, the island has an interesting and diverse landscape from the boardwalk town of Kona to lush botanical gardens scattered throughout the island. The Big Island is a great place to explore nature in all its forms.</p> 115 </div> 116 <div class="rightSide"> 117 118 <img class="lazyload" data-src="https://static.discover-hawaii.com/static/img/big-island-map.png" /> 119 120 </div> 121 </div> 122</div> 123 124 125<div class="mainBox"> 126 <div class="mainContent"> 127 128 129 130<!-- SIGHTS AND ATTRACTIONS --> 131<div class="cardContainer twoUp margin top-40 bottom-40"> 132 <div class="card"> 133 <div class="cardContainer vert twoUp alignRight"> 134 <div class="text"> 135 <h4 class="subhead-3">Sights and Attractions</h4> 136 <h2 class="h2-heading ink-900">Must-see attractions <br/>on The Big Island</h2> 137 <h3 class="subhead-1">Explore over 70 places,<br/> by your interests:</h3> 138 <div class="iconContainer"> 139 140 <a href="/big-island/sights/?category=shopping" class="icon h4-heading" title="Shopping"> 141 <i class="fa fa-bag-shopping"></i> 142 Shopping 143 </a> 144 145 <a href="/big-island/sights/?category=food" class="icon h4-heading" title="Food & Dining"> 146 <i class="fa fa-utensils"></i> 147 Food & Dining 148 </a> 149 150 <a href="/big-island/sights/?category=beach" class="icon h4-heading" title="Beaches"> 151 <i class="fa fa-umbrella-beach"></i> 152 Beaches 153 </a> 154 155 <a href="/big-island/sights/?category=park" class="icon h4-heading" title="Parks & Gardens"> 156 <i class="fa fa-leaf"></i> 157 Parks & Gardens 158 </a> 159 160 <a href="/big-island/sights/?category=landmark" class="icon h4-heading" title="Sights & Landmarks"> 161 <i class="fa fa-monument"></i> 162 Sights & Landmarks 163 </a> 164 165 <a href="/big-island/sights/?category=museum" class="icon h4-heading" title="Museum"> 166 <i class="fa fa-landmark"></i> 167 Museum 168 </a> 169 170 <a href="/big-island/sights/?category=entertainment" class="icon h4-heading" title="Entertainment"> 171 <i class="fa fa-ticket"></i> 172 Entertainment 173 </a> 174 175 </div> 176 </div> 177 <div class="icons"></div> 178 </div> 179 </div> 180 181 182 183 184<a href="/big-island/sights/w-m-keck-observatory-40/" title="Visit W.

Inside each red fruit of the coffee plant is a bean that is then roasted and dried to make the delicious rich coffee we love. And some of the best coffee in the world comes right from the Hawaiian Islands. Coffee has grown on the Big Island since 1828 and has become a worldwide recognized brand. In 1997, it is estimated that over two million pounds of coffee was grown on the island. We suggest that if you're near Kona, head to the living history museum to learn a little more about the drink and its history on the island.</p> 523 <a href="" class="btn alt margin top-20">Read More</a> 524 525 </div> 526 527</div> 528 529 530 531 532</div> 533<div class="mainBox"> 534 535 <div class="mainContent"> 536 537<!-- TOURS --> 538<div class="cardContainer twoUp"> 539 <div class="card"> 540 <div class="cardContainer vert twoUp alignRight"> 541 <div class="text"> 542 <h4 class="subhead-3">Tours & Activities</h4> 543 <h2 class="h2-heading ink-900">Popular Tours <br/>throughout The Big Island</h2> 544 </div> 545 </div> 546 </div> 547 548 549 550 551<a href="/l/tour/3486" title="Visit Kealakekua Bay Snorkel Cruise" class="card tour"> 552 553 554 <img class="lazyload" data-src="https://static.discover-hawaii.com/media/cache/41/d2/41d22504b3d82a93d16098c67a91944a.jpg" alt="Photo of Kealakekua Bay Snorkel Cruise" /> 555 556 557 558 <div class="contentArea"> 559 <div class="mainTitleArea"> 560 <div class="titleArea"> 561 <span class="extraStuff subhead-4"> 562 The Big Island 563 564 • Snorkeling 565 566 567 </span> 568 <h3 class="h3-heading">Kealakekua Bay Snorkel Cruise</h3> 569 </div> 570 571 </div> 572 573 <p class="paragraph-small">Experience the beauty of the Kona Coast at picturesque Kealakekua Bay on an afternoon snorkel cruise.
