Aloha! Welcome to the Big Island. This island is stunning and has the amazing landscape Hawaii is known for.
This island is unique as its home to Volcano National Park and it’s lesser developed than the other islands which makes it perfect for a taste of the authentic Hawaii.
When to go?
The best time to visit the island is early spring! But whenever you go it will be magical!
Transportation
You will need to rent a car to get around the island. If available rent a 4WD car like a jeep!
Itinerary
I would suggest staying 3 nights in Kona and then staying 3 nights in Hilo, that way you can explore the whole island!

My sister (my traveling buddy) and I love to travel to destinations that have an amazing local food scene, proximity to the outdoors and have a strong sense of culture & design.

Here on Thatch, I create super detailed guides and itineraries to destinations that we have personally visited or plan on visiting. These destinations have everything we love about travel! Among tips and tricks for each destination I also always include the best spots for coffee, local shopping & the best boutique hotels to stay!
