BIG ISLAND OF HAWAII ACTIVITIES

Hawaii is the newest island in the Hawaiian chain. In fact, it's still growing!

The Big Island Hawaii is the last of the major Hawaiian Islands to ascend from the floor of the sea and it is the only Hawaiian Island that is still volcanically active and in fact still growing in size. For the past 20 years or so the Big Island's volcano of Kileaua has been almost continually active and at various times during the 1900's the volcano of Mauna Loa has been active as well.

All this volcanic activity has provided tremendous excitement for residents and visitors alike and it has become the focal point for many of the Hawaii activities available on the island. The Big Island activities include the famous and spectacular helicopter flights over the active volcano, flight seeing planes, land tours to see the area from within the Volcano's National Park and various hiking trips which often put you face to face with the dramatic volcanic lava.

The allure of the Big Island does not end with its volcano's however as it is also home to what can arguably be considered the best sport fishing location on the planet off Kona Hawaii. Kona fishing is dramatic because of the extreme depths to which the water descends directly off the Kona coastline. Within just a few hundred yards off shore the underwater sea shelf falls off to depths not found in most other Hawaiian waters. This seems to be one of the attractions for the enormous billfish which are caught often in these waters. Throughout the towns restaurants, shops and museums you will find evidence of these mighty fish in the form of mounted castings. These fish can reach weights in excess of 1000 lbs and the fight to real these ocean giants to the boats can often take many hours and is the grist for many often told sea stories.

Evidence for this excellent fishing can be seen in the harbors which are loaded to capacity with fishing boats. One of the oddities surrounding the Kona fishing industry is that because there is such good fishing there are many boats and because there are many boats the competitive pricing for these charters is relatively low. This means that you can do some of the best fishing in the world in Kona and yet pay relatively little to do so.
