Even though Hawaii has been a tourist hot spot for decades, each island has retained its own feel that is very different from the other.  The Big Island is...well...big  and filled with big attractions like the ever-oozing Kilaeu Volcano (the world's largest active volcano), the huge City of Refuge, the seat of the ancient Kingdom of Hawaii,    The "Aloha Spirit" in Hawaii filters through to children who are welcomed with open arms here.  You may find locals more willing to get to know you and tell you about their home when you're with your family.
