Big Island!! My hometown is Hilo. Try check out Honolii for surfing in Hilo. Also, ask some locals how to find a surf spot called secrets. Awesome place. Near there you will be able to find another place called Kings Bath that is a secret little onsen that only local people know about. It's just a little geothermally heated pond sitting in a lava tube in the jungle near another cool surf spot called Isaacs Beach (were you will surely see sea turtles while surfing).


Horseback riding - Parker Ranch.

Enjoy!

I so want to visit the Big Island after having my first taste of Hawaii on Oahu in December ... So much to explore. Big mountains and beautiful beaches! Paradise.

ahhhhhhh, sure do miss living in hawaii. What a beautiful place it is. If had the chance to move back and live Id go to Kauai in a heartbeat, maybe Maui too.

It's a shame my experience of Hawaii wasn't so good. I went to Maui some years ago with someone who was addicted to resort hotels and laying by the resort pool (instead of on the beach even!) and reading trashy novels. All I wanted to do was to get to the good places further away from resort civilization. I managed to see a few nice spots, but was a bit dicey on the left hand drive stuff (first time ever) to venture off very far on my own. I'd like to go back there some day, away from the resorts.
