Hawaii - The Orchid Isle

Big Island Info

Hawaii, the Big Island, place where gods, myths, and legends reside – an island still being created before your very eyes as volcanoes bubble and spew forth red-hot lava into the sea. Here, eleven of the thirteen climates of the world can be found. Scenery changes here every few miles from lush rain forests, to barren black lava fields, to snow capped peaks.
