The Big Island of Hawaii is the jewel of the Hawaiian archipelago.
Here on the geologically youngest of the islands, the spirits of
energy and creation surround you. From the stars above to the sea
below, the Big Island is home to many extremes.
The entire island is a natural
wonderland replete with waterfalls, rainforests, pristine beaches,
botanical wonders, exotic birds, and colorful marine life. It is
also a haven for stargazers; no place on Earth offers facilities
for public astronomical viewing comparable to those on Mauna Kea.
Here you can enjoy deep-sky splendors in both the northern and
southern celestial hemispheres from what is arguably the finest
dark-sky site in the world.
