This island is totally different from any of the other main Hawaiian Islands, but it has an unbelivable charm all its own. If I had to pick a favorite of all the islands, this one would be mine.
The first secret to enjoying the Big Island is to rent a car. The second is to stay more than three days, or return again and again until you have seen all the facets of this fascinating place. With 266 miles of coastline made up of white-coral, black-lava, and a dusting of green-olivine beaches, and with its cliffs of lava and emerald gorges slashing into jutting mountains, the Big Island is so large and so varied.
