The Big Island has two sides, just to keep it simple. The "Dry" side is where Kona is located and the "Wet" Side is where Hilo is Located. Both are worth a visit as they each have unique attractions and features! Bougainvillea B & B is strategically located about half way between the two main centres of the island making it a great location to visit both sides from.
Kona Side (dry)
The Kona side is on the leeward side of the island. It has more sunny days than any other part of the island. It also has the most activities and resorts available.
Hilo Side (Wet)
The Hilo side is on the windward side of the Island. It's GREEN everywhere! Hilo gets around 140 inches of rainfall a year. It has beautiful water falls and lush rain forests and is very close to Volcanoes National Park.
