Things To Do
Snorkel Tour | Kealakekua Bay
Highly recommend the morning or afternoon Kealakekua Snorkel Tour with Kona Fair Winds. 4.5-hr Cruise. Approximate Snorkel Time in Water: 2.5 Hours. This tour generally sells out 3 days in advance, sometimes up to 2 weeks, depending on the season so book ahead if you are interested!
Kona Manta Ray Snorkel
Float above divers and bubbles while giant manta rays swim gracefully below you. Included: masks, fins, snorkel, and wetsuit. Snorkelers are encouraged to bring any personal snorkel gear they wish to use. For safety reasons, full-face snorkel masks are not permitted on any of our charters. They also provide filtered water and a variety of snacks.
Kona Coffee & Tea
Our favorite place to get 100% Kona Coffee on the island.
Sushi Shiono | Lunch/Dinner
Our favorite place for sushi and sake. Reservations highly recommended. From the website: At Sushi Shiono, we pride ourselves on serving only the highest quality, fresh seafood and seasonal delicacies from Kona such as ahi, ono, butterfish and abalone. Premium fish arrives weekly directly from Japan. The rice we use is Tamaki Gold Koshihikari rice, considered the finest super-premium short-grain rice in the world. Its firmness, consistency, aroma and natural sweetness offer perfection for making superior sushi.
Ola Brew Co | Happy Hour
Ola Brew is a Big Island based brewery with two taprooms, one in Hilo and one in Kona. Their mission is to encourage growth in Hawai’i’s agricultural economy by purchasing local ingredients and incorporating them into our specialty brews. Ola Brew is also proudly both employee and community owned with over 2800 small investors and 40+ employee-owners.
Kona Inn Restaurant | Happy Hour
Our favorite Happy Hour spot to enjoy the ocean in a chill open air setting (no AC, so dress for warm/hot weather). The horseshoe-shaped all-Koa-wood bar is a world-famous watering hole that serves the best Mai Tai in the Islands. HAPPY HOUR 2:00 TO 5:00 PM DAILY.
