The Big Island of Hawaii is not for everyone and it certainly does not fit the tropical island stereotype. Some visitors are taken aback by large fields of black lava, yet the spectacular scenery usually offers plenty of compensation. You might be able to find - after some exploration - powdery white sand beaches. In terms of diving, snorkeling, and kayaking, this island is paradise, both through its clam, protected waters, as well as through an incredibly varied and rich underwater landscape and shoreline scenery.
