Things To Do
Hawaii Volcanoes National Park
You can (sometimes) see lava there...
Paradise Helicopters Tours of Hawaii
One of the best ways to experience the island is from the air! Paradise Helicopter Tours provides tours taking off from Hilo Airport daily and can get you a doors-off experience flying over the volcanoes, towering sea cliffs, and can take you to otherwise inaccessible parts of the Big Island
Kohala Na'alapa Stables
We went horseback riding here a couple years back and it is spectacular! Unbeatable views of Maui and Big Island - a 'Top of the World' feeling
Pololū Valley
About a 45min drive from the resorts. Park and follow the trailhead down a steep 1mile trail to a black sand beach and lush valley. Great exploring, not a place recommended for swimming.
Waimea
The town of Waimea is the Big Island's 'High Country'. It's just a few minutes away from the hotel and feels different than much of Hawaii. You'll be surrounded by verdant farmland and have expansive views of Mauna Kea, Mauna Loa, and Hualalai. There are great shops, restaurants and farmers' markets to find there.
Ola Brew Co
Awesome locally owned and locally sourced brewery - you can only get their beers and seltzers on the islands so definitely worth checking out!
Kona Brewing Company
Most popular brewery on the island -- be prepared for long waits
Merriman's Big Island
Some of the best food on the Big Island, grown on the Big Island!
Magics Beach Grill
A quintessential waterfront dining experience in Kona town. Order some pupu's and watch watch the action at the beach nearby
Downtown Kona (Ali'i Drive)
Walk along Ali'i Drive for some great coffee shops, local boutiques, art stores, restaurants, and more
