It’s the biggest island in the Hawaiian Islands chain, more than twice as big as all the others combined! Imagine that! Kona Coast is on the west side, where most of the hotel resorts and condos are. There are Kona coffee beans growing on the hillsides that you can practically smell. Just to the south, at Pu’uhonua O Honaunau preserve you’ll find all the tikis, including several giant ones; and south of there, if you keep going, you might even see live lava flows from Kilauea, small rivers of it, with steam rising, streaming down to the ocean. On the east side, just out from Hilo, you can visit orchid orchards and macadamia farms. In the center you see the island’s two tallest volcanoes, Mauna Loa and Mauna Kea, the latter with an observatory with a 10-meter mirrored telescope that’ll show you things in night sky you never knew existed! What a trip!
