Question Fun Things to Do on Big Island in January

[The Que]

I'm heading to the Big Island in January to celebrate my 50th birthday with the family, and I've never been before! I'm looking for recommendations on fun activities and places to visit while we're there. Any must-see spots or hidden gems? Also, if you have any tips on family-friendly adventures or local experiences, that would be awesome. Thanks in advance for your help!

Happy early birthday! The Big Island has so much to offer for a memorable celebration. Definitely make time for Hawaii Volcanoes National Park to see the stunning landscapes and possibly active lava flows. Snorkeling at Kealakekua Bay is another family-friendly adventure that’s absolutely breathtaking. For a unique experience, consider a manta ray night dive or snorkel; it’s magical to see these creatures up close! Have you thought about visiting the local farmers' markets for some authentic Hawaiian flavors? Let the fun begin!

Happy early birthday! Since you'll be celebrating with family, I’d recommend checking out the Mauna Kea Summit for stargazing—it's truly unforgettable. Also, the Akaka Falls State Park is a fantastic spot for a family hike with stunning views. And don’t miss out on a traditional luau experience for some great food and entertainment. Have you looked into any specific activities that your family would enjoy together?
