Backpacking is one of the best ways to experience what the Big Island of Hawaii has to offer. It gives you the chance to gain first-hand experiences of the life and culture of the locals.

The best times to visit the Big Island and avoid an influx of other travelers are usually in January, February, September, and October. Coincidentally, February is the best time of the year to spot humpback whales.
