Big Island Honeymoon Packages

Thank you for your interest in Preview Hawaii to plan your Big Island Honeymoon. The Big Island of Hawaii is larger than all of the remaining Hawaiian Islands combined! The Big Island is a land of stark contrasts, from the active volcano at Mauna Loa, the Mauna Kea observatory, the bustling nightlife and shops of Kona, the sleepy village of Kona and the world class resort properties on the Kohala Coast. Please review our Big Island information here: Big Island Travel Information

The island of Hawaii, or the "Big Island" as it is known, is a study in contrasts. While the active Mauna Loa volcano creating new land daily as its lava flows steadily into the blue Pacific, while the Kohala Coast offers stunning resorts and breath-taking golf courses. The Big Island's Kohala Coast has become a playground of the rich and famous, with more private jets landing at Kona International Airport than any other airport in the state. These well heeled travelers hide away in one of the Big Island's luxury resorts, or enjoy a luxury second home on one of the bluffs overlooking the crystal blue waters of the Pacific Ocean. Many of our travel partners on the Big Island have developed romantic getaways just for the honeymoon couple- complete with champagne in the room. The Big Island is the largest of the Hawaiian Islands and offers many unique honeymoon getaways. In addition there is a lot to explore on The Big Island, such as the beautiful beaches of the Kona Coast, The lava flows of the Volcano National Park, historic Hilo town, Kona Coffee farms and so much more.
