Come to the Big Island and Explore Hawai‘i’s Island of Adventure
Hawai‘i’s Big Island (Mar.1, 2010) – The Big Island Visitors Bureau thanks everyone who sent their sincere wishes to Hawai‘i as we braced for the tsunami generated by the Chilean earthquake on Feb. 27. Luckily, there was just a small surge across Hawai‘i, and there were no reports of major damage or injuries. We salute the excellent coordination of our local government, disaster officials, mariners, and hospitality industry in working together safely and efficiently. We are happy to report business as usual!
Wishing for summer already? Hawai‘i’s Big Island will melt the iciest conditions with its beautiful weather, incredible deals and 4,028 square miles of adventure!

Special note to media: The Big Island Visitors Bureau (BIVB) recognizes the use of the ‘okina [‘] or glottal stop, one of the eight consonants of the modern Hawaiian language; and the kahak? [?] or macron (e.g., in place names of Hawai‘i such as K?lauea). However, BIVB respects the individual use of these markings for names of organizations and businesses.
