Whether you stay in a vacation rental in Hilo, Waimea, Kona or other town on Big Island, you can plan a trip filled with green experiences. Travelers are increasingly seeking green vacations, in some regard, and the islands offer multi-faceted options.<\/p>\n
Planning a Big Island vacation? Check out our selection of Kona vacation rentals<\/a> for your stay.<\/p>\n Experiences such as living like a local, eating fresh fruits and vegetables, dining at farm to fork eateries, visiting internationally recognized sites and seeing native flora and fauna will enthrall travelers. Green travel seems to renew spirits and Big Island guests would likely agree. Hawaii Volcanoes National Park is not only one of the most revered island sites among Hawaiians, but it is recognized as a\u00a0UNESCO\u00a0World Heritage and World Biosphere Site (for its history and natural diversity). Trails for all skill levels, captivating scenery and much flora and fauna dot the textured landscapes of the park. Your excursion to explore the lava and lore is important; the nature trails near your vacation rental are likely also worth exploration, whether they lead to the beach or nearby site. Notice the native birds and spend as much time looking up as you do looking ahead or down.<\/p>\n Farms, herb gardens and farmers\u2019 market feed Big Island\u2019s local eateries with both good food and drink so dig into pan Asian cuisine made with ingredients from the island\u2019s land and sea.
