Towering mountains, erupting volcanoes, and the best sunsets around mark Hawaii, The Big Island, a place like no other. The Big Island is an adventure paradise for those Hawaii activities junkies. Snorkel in one of the largest ocean wildlife preserves in the Islands, Kealakekua Bay. On one side of the bay is the Hawaiian sacred "Place of Refuge", the other side is where Captain Cook was killed in his final voyage. Or how about snorkeling with wild dolphins. Hike the caldera of one Hawaii Island's 2 active volcanoes, explore a lava tube that looks like it's own tropical rain forest, or go on a lava ocean adventure tour. You will never forget your viewing of Pele’s lair. The next day as you explore this island, take a short walk just off the highway to a waterfall that will take your breath away, Ride Horses miles above the sea...Is that snow in Hawaii??? Yes, you can do all this in one day. If there is one island where you may want to take a helicopter sightseeing tour, this is it, as you may want to take a helicopter trip just to scope out the places you want to visit the next day. There is also kayaking, deep sea fishing for Marlin, and snorkeling with the Manta Rays at night. I know I keep talking about the volcano, but to see the lava flow glowing at night is an incredible experience you really shouldn’t miss! It’s easy to picture Pele, the Volcano Goddess, showing her wrath – or mercy – on those she encounters. Yet the molten lava is just one of Hawaii's Big Island’s hot attractions, there are also cool shops in Kona, coffee plantation tours, excellent golf on the Kohala Coast, and the quaint town of Hilo, where you’ll feel as though you’ve gone back in time. Hawaii's Big Island has spectacular contrasts...the mighty volcanoes Mauna Loa (13,679 feet) and Kilauea, lofty snow clad Mauna Kea (13,796 feet), the Kau Desert, gorgeous waterfalls, and the Puna Fern Forest. There is the potential for just about any kind of adventure you can think of on The Big Island of Hawaii. The Big Island is exactly that, big and beautiful all at once. Everybody should see it at least once.

There are 20 magnificent golf courses on Hawaii’s Big Island. These courses are carved out of ancient lava flows, nestled among historical Hawaiian landmarks, and fronting some of the most beautiful coastline of the Pacific.  The striking contrasts of lush green fairways, pure white bunkers, jet-black lava flows, and turquoise blue Pacific waters make for some of the most scenic holes anywhere.  You can start your golfing excursion at Volcano Golf & Country Club. This unique course is set on the slopes of Mauna Loa and offers a relaxing warm up to many of the more difficult courses to come. Next up is the Big Island Country Club, a true Pete Dye course featuring bent grass greens and five sets of tee boxes ranging from 4600 to 7200 yards. Their signature hole is the 17th hole which features an island green. Let's get serious now with the Mauna Lani Resort - South Course. This golf course is one of the most photographed in the Islands. The highlights of this course include hole #15, a par 3, requiring a tee shot across the ocean to the green. Care to play a little Scottish Links Style golf?? Head on up to the Waimea Country Club. This is not your typical Hawaii resort golf, wide open fairways, cooler weather and sloped fast greens will make this a day to remember.

Hawaii's Big Island Golf is a dream come true.
