Big Island of Hawaii

Many of you wonder how large the Big Island of Hawaii really is. To give you an idea, the Big Island of Hawaii is approximately twice the size of all other Hawaiian Islands combined (over 4,000 sq miles in size).

The Big Island of Hawaii is the largest of the Hawaiian Islands but it is the youngest of the Island chain. The appeal of the Big Island is that it’s home to the world’s most active volcano ‘Kilauea’ and two of the tallest mountains ‘Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa’.

Big Island is truly the place to be if you love volcanoes and want to learn more about them. The Volcanoes National Park is home to interactive and educational exhibits and it is Big Island’s top attraction.

The Volcanoes National Park features:

* Kilauea Visitor Center is a fun and educational place where you can learn a bit more about the park and Big Island’s history.

* The Jaggar Museum is another interactive place where you can see volcano displays and records by volcanologist Thomas A. Jaggar.

* Devastation Trail is one of the trails you can hike in Big Island of Hawaii and see the Halemaumau Crater
