BIGTI. More than an adventure!
Hawaii is known as the paradise of the Pacific and on the Big Island you’ll be able to experience the true paradise of Hawaii. The Big Island is the largest of the seven islands and because of its size visitors have to either take a tour or rent a car. If you’re looking for a tour that will exceed your expectations, BIGTI is the way to go. Not only do they provide pick up services from location to location, but their bilingual tour guides ensure that everyone has a good time.Here is some of the fun we had the last time we went on a BIGTI Tour!
【 Hiking 】
Once we stepped off the tour bus, we were overwhelmed by the smell of fresh trees and the chilly air that surrounding us. We had stopped at “the forest above clouds”. In this forest, you can see many different plant species that have thrived in Hawaii since ancient times.
Richard, who was our tour guide that day, told us that the plants here haven’t changed since the time of the dinosaurs. While listening to Richard and gazing around at the strange plants, we felt as if we were in a time warp, reliving the distant past.
Next, Richard took us to the coffee farm that produces organic coffee. It was delicious! Knowing that every little bean is grown in such a special place made me want to appreciate a fresh cup from the farm every morning.
【 Kayaking 】
After hiking in the forest, we went out to enjoy the clear water with some kayaking. Safety wasn’t a concern as BIGTI guides are well versed in safety and use the rider-friendly Malabu II kayak.
After a short safety lesson we were off, paddling away to our snorkeling destination. The water that day was beautiful and the fish were colorful and fantastic! BIGTI Tours reveal the true beauty of the Big Island. Far away from busy life. Far away from reality.
Enjoy a world you can only experience in Hawaii.

BIG ISLAND WATER SPORTS/SNUBA,
which doesn’t require any certification,
is a convenient way to explore the coral reef.
In Hawaii, the marine sports that usually come to mind are surfing, scuba diving, and kayaking. However, there is another more lighthearted way to have fun while playing in the magnificent ocean: Snuba!Snuba is a type of scuba diving incorporating features from snorkeling and doesn’t require the use of heavy equipment. Swimmers only where lightweight swim fins and a diving mask, along with a specialized breathing apparatus attached to an air tank above the water. That’s it!
This is the perfect marine sport for those who only have a short time to discover the unparalleled beauty of Hawaii’s ocean. Even those who can’t swim and beginner divers are welcome. Special equipment makes this water sport safe and enjoyable, giving mere earthlings the superpower to dive underwater!
WATER SPORTS/SNUBA is the only dive shop on the Big Island to have introduced the pioneering Snuba diving program. Friendly staff will take good care of you as they embrace you with true Aloha hospitality.
Beginners rejoice! Your new-found friends at WATER SPORTS/SNUBA will bring you to meet some of the locals, including dolphins, whales, giant mantas, and tons of colorful tropical fish.
