Living BIG Island Style

Having traveled and lived around the world, I can confidently say this: the Big Island offers one of the most extraordinary active lifestyles anywhere.

Where else can you hike an active volcano at sunrise, explore lush valleys with cascading waterfalls, swim with sea turtles and manta rays, then cap the day with a beachside sunset run or surf session?

Whether you’re a seasoned athlete, weekend warrior, or simply someone who enjoys staying active outdoors, the Big Island of Hawaii delivers in every way. With its diverse terrain and year-round tropical climate, opportunities to live a healthy, active lifestyle are endless.

This section highlights some of the most popular outdoor activities that make the Big Island a haven for adventurers: surfing, triathlon, swimming, hiking, running, and cycling. Each of these activities has its own dedicated page, providing in-depth insight into how and where to enjoy them across the island.
