Everyone knows Hawaii is to beaches what Nepal is to mountains. But the tropical climate and beautiful sea-shores aren’t the only things you can find in Hawaii. This unique piece of heaven on earth boasts of constantly forming islands, snorkeling and diving, shipwrecks, petroglyphs, otherworldly rock formations, red-dirt roads and rugged hiking trails.
Hawaii is made up of over 100 islands, however there are eight main islands that make up the Hawaiian Islands and each has its own unique features. The island of Hawaii, also known as the Big Island, is the largest of Hawaii’s main islands with a total area of 4,028 square miles. The island is home to three active volcanoes – Kilauea is the most active one. The highest point on the Big Island is the dormant volcano, Mauna Kea at 13,796 feet (4,205 m)
