Big Island, Hawaii: The Perfect Romantic Getaway

Sometimes you need to leave everything behind — the work, the routine, the noise — and simply be together somewhere beautiful. Big Island, Hawaii is exactly that place. Hawaii's Big Island is the most geologically active spot on earth — where Kilauea Volcano has been continuously erupting, creating new land, and black sand beaches exist beside white sand ones. Mauna Kea's summit offers the world's best stargazing, and the island's diversity is extraordinary.

Watching lava flow into the ocean at night, then driving to Mauna Kea's summit to see the Milky Way above the clouds — the Big Island does things no other island can.
