Big Island of Hawaii Travel Guide and Travel Information
Island of Hawai’i is known as The Big Island of Hawaii to avoid confusion with the name of the State of Hawaii.
The Big Island of Hawaii is the largest and youngest of the Hawaiian archipelago. It is the Southeastern most of the Hawaiian island chain. Boasting a land area approximating the state of Connecticut, it is perhaps the most ‘Hawaiian’ of the major island. Also known as the Volcano Island, Orchid Isle, Big Island or simply Hawaii.
