The
Hawaii Volcanoes National Park contains one of the world's most active
volcanoes which continues to pour into the sea adding to the shoreline.
From
its snow capped peaks to its black, white and green sand beaches the
island is really a study in contrasts. Rocky deserts and lush rainforests.
Peaceful bays and rolling pasture land. Luxurious orchids and waterfalls
on the windward side, and areas on the western slopes where the world
famous Kona
coffee is grown.
The
Big Island is the place for adventure. Horseback riding in Waimea. Golf
everywhere. Snow skiing (really!) at Mauna Kea. The ocean is gorgeous at
any time of year. Kona is the marlin fishing capital of the Pacific. Or
maybe the quaint shops and restaurants of Hilo, will be enough to keep you
thoroughly entertained. The Big Island is also the place for history. All
over the island you'll see petroglyphs, and heiau, ancient places of
worship. The royal summer palace and the first Christian church in Hawaii
will take you back in time.
From the
rainbows and waterfalls of the windward side to the sun drenched beaches
of the Kona/Kohala Coast, the Big Island is vibrant and alive.
Wherever
you go, you'll find the spirit of Aloha. Of course, you'll find all of the
amenities, attractions, activities, and accommodations that will fit any
pocketbook and life style. You'll also find a physical beauty, a depth of
cultural heritage, and a spiritual warmth that is without equal.
Whatever
you're looking for in Hawaii honeymoons, the Big Island offers some
great moments that could last a lifetime. Because Hawaiian weather varies
very little throughout the year, the weather you'll experience on the Big
Island depends more on location than time of year. The wide variety of
climates and the resulting range of temperatures and rainfall across the
island are due primarily to differences in elevation and exposure to the
moist northeasterly trade winds. The average day-time temperature in the
coastal resort areas ranges from the mid 80's in the summer months of May
to October to the mid to low 70's during the winter months of November to
April. |
