The Complete Big Island FAQ

Aloha! I'm Kalani Miller, and I've spent my whole life exploring this incredible island I call home. I know planning a trip here can feel like a huge task—it's called the Big Island for a reason! It's larger than all the other Hawaiian islands combined, and you can experience nearly every climate zone on Earth here, from tropical rainforests and volcanic deserts to snow-capped mountains.

That's why I've put together answers to every question I've ever been asked by visiting friends and family, from the best time to visit to how to respect our sacred places. My goal is to help you have a trip that's not just a vacation, but a true experience. This guide will be the only resource you need, answering questions you haven't even thought to ask yet. Let's plan your perfect adventure together.
