what is hawaii's big island
Hawaii Island (The Big Island) Hawaiiâs Big Island is called âThe Big Islandâ because, well, itâs the biggest island in the chain. But more than that, the islandâs official name is âHawaiiâ and thatâs just too confusing when the whole state â all the islands collectively â has the same name. So when you say youâre visiting Hawaii, youâll have to be more specific if you want people to understand youâre visiting the Big Island of Hawaii.
