Things To Do
Hawaii Volcanoes National Park
A must-see for adventurous guests. Explore active volcanoes, lava fields, and unique landscapes you won’t find anywhere else. Tip: Plan for a full-day trip (about 2–2.5 hours from Kona).
La'aloa Beach Park (aka Magic Sands)
A beautiful white sand beach right in Kona (when the tide allows). Perfect for swimming, bodyboarding, or simply relaxing with a sunset view. Tip: Mornings are usually calmer; afternoons can bring stronger waves.
Makani Golf Club
Cooler elevation, lush greens, and panoramic island views.
Kona Coffee & Tea
Kona is known for its smooth, flavorful Kona coffee, grown right on the slopes nearby. You’ll find plenty of local farms and cafés where you can try it fresh. You might also see mamaki tea, a local herbal tea that’s light and refreshing. Tip: Look for “100% Kona Coffee” if you want the real thing.
Pu'uhonua O Honaunau National Historical Park
A sacred Hawaiian place of refuge filled with ancient temples, kiʻi (wooden carvings), and stunning coastal views. A peaceful and meaningful way to experience local history and culture. Tip: Bring water and take your time walking the grounds.
