If you have plans to travel to The Big Island of Hawaii with your family in the near future, then this is definitely the video for you!

Recently, our crew returned from spending 10 full, beautiful days on The Big Island. We drove almost 2,000 miles, spent time visiting sites on the North, South, East, and West sides of the island, and fell in love with the Aloha Spirit that The Big Island bleeds.

The Big Island (as the name implies ) is BIG, and it is our hope that by sharing thoughts, tips, tricks, and recommendations based on the places we got to, you will be able to walk away from our video feeling enlightened and empowered. Use our suggestions as a springing board to create an island plan and itinerary that works best for you and your family!

Grab some paper and a pencil, and get ready to chat prices, parking, and age appropriateness on some of the most popular Big Island attractions!
