The largest of the Hawaiian Islands is called Hawai‘i.

It is an island that is growing in size. The Kilauea Volcano on the southeast shore has added over 500 acres to the coast as its lava pours into the sea.

On the opposite side of the island is the Kohala Coast. Protected by the dormant peaks of Hualalai and Mauna Kea, it is drenched in sun most of the year.

The resort of Hualalai is 15 minutes north of the international airport at Kailua-Kona, and worlds away from every day. Click here for Hualalai resort map.

Many airlines offer daily nonstop service from Los Angeles and San Francisco to Kona International Airport. Japan Airlines schedules daily nonstop flights between Tokyo and Kona.

Many rental car companies have vehicles available at Kona International Airport.
