It's easy to feel awed on Hawaii’s Big Island. From the molten magma flowing from Hawaii Volcanoes National Park to the snow-capped heights of Maunakea; from the green rainforests of the Hamakua Coast to the jet-black sands of Punaluu Beach; Hawaii’s Big Island is an unrivaled expression of the power of nature.  

To avoid confusion with the name of the entire state, the Island of Hawaii is often called the “Big Island,” and what an appropriate name it is. Nearly twice as big as all of the other Hawaiian Islands combined, its sheer size can be inspiring. You’ll find all but two of the world's climatic zones within this island’s shores.  

The dramatic size and scope of the largest Hawaiian Island create a microcosm of environments and activities. On this island’s vast tableau, you’ll find everything from extravagant resorts and incredible golf courses to modest local towns and sacred Hawaiian historical sites, from the birthplace of King Kamehameha I to Hawaii’s first missionary church in Historic Kailua Village (Kailua-Kona).  

With so much to see, it’s best to experience the island in small pieces. There’s plenty of room on Hawaii’s Big Island for your return. 

夏威夷的大島很容易使來到這裡的遊客感到凜然敬畏。從熔化岩漿炙熱的洪流、從夏威夷火山國家公園到冰雪封頂的Maunakea高峰、從綠蔭蒼翠的熱帶雨林Hamakua海岸到墨烏的Punaluu黑沙灘﹔夏威夷的大島能無與倫比的表現出大自然的威力。 

為了避免混淆整個夏威夷州的名稱，夏威夷島通常被稱為“大島”而且這是個適當的講法。因為大島的面積…約是所有其他夏威夷群島相結合的兩倍大，其壯觀的景，不僅僅是這島的海岸上，有兩種世界迴異的氣候區域。 

最大的夏威夷島有戲劇性的面積和規模龐大的範圍，創建出一個小小世界縮影的環境和許多活動。在這島上廣大各種生動場面中，你會發現形形色色的東西，從奢華度假村和令人難以置信的高爾夫球場到謙虛的當地城鎮和神聖的夏威夷歷史遺跡，從夏威夷國王「卡美哈美哈」（King Kamehameha ）的出生地到歷史上著名的「凱魯瓦村」夏威夷的第一個傳教士教會（Kailua-Kona)。  

有這麼多可看觀光景點，最好慢慢去體驗島上的點點滴滴。夏威夷的大島有足夠的空間，讓您不斷的造訪，滿載而歸。
