Overview

Hawaii is a bucket list destination for many people and each island offers a unique experience from the other.

The Big Island is quite possibly my favorite Hawaiian Island because of how diverse the island is and all the bucket list experiences that can be had here.

In this one week itinerary, I’ll help you plan the perfect 7 days on Hawaii’s largest and most diverse island. I’ll break down when to visit, where to stay, and give a step by step itinerary for each day on the island!

So, when should you visit?

Hawaii is a destination that is perfect to visit year round. With warm waters, lush jungles and waterfalls, tropical rainforests, the best snorkeling, and some of the worlds most unqiue beaches, you’re sure find something to do every month of the year in Hawaii!
