From molten magma flows at Hawaii Volcanoes National Park to snow-capped peaks of Maunakea, no island captures the power of nature quite like Hawaii Island. This dramatic fire and ice contrast are balanced by lush Hamakua Coast rainforests, Kona coffee farms, waterfalls and sacred valleys.
Castle runs the range with accommodations in the upcountry’s paniolo-infused Waimea, charming Hilo, golf-centric Waikoloa Beach Resort and the lively fishing village of Kailua-Kona that hosts major fishing, paddling and endurance events. Whether it’s a sunrise hike, sunset selfie-fest or manta ray night dive, this diverse, mellow island packs a powerful punch.
