Things To Do
Hunting
The Big Island boasts an excellent selection of sheep, goat, and boar hunting. Rifle and bow public land hunting options will be available in April and May. Check Go Hunt Hawaii website below for information on how to get out of state exemption number and Hawaii hunting license ahead of time.
Surfing
Kahaluu and Pinetrees are great spots for surfing and boogie boarding. Remember…. Sharp rocks, coral, and sea urchins. Wouldn’t want sore feet for post wedding dance party.
Hiking
Captain Cook Trail in south Kona takes you down a steep 3.7 mile trail to excellent snorkeling. Start early! Consider lunch at Shaka Tacoz or the Coffee Shack after. Volcano National Park (2 hours from Kona) has a verity of trails through native forrest. We also enjoy Pololuu valley hike in Hawi (1.25 hour from Kona).
Tropical Cocktails
Cheeky Tiki, Huggo’s, Seafood Bar and Lava lava are all favorites.
Breweries
Ola Kona Tap Room, Kona Brew, and check out Big Island Brew House if in Waimea town.
Dining
Noe’s favorite: Pau Hana Poke Chase’s favorite: Korner Pocket Coffee and a view: The Coffee Shack Dinner with a view: Papa Kona and Kai’s Other favorites: Willies Hot Chicken, Kona Brew, Shaka tacoz, and Quinn’s almost by the Sea
Snorkeling
The clear waters of Kona has some excellent snorkeling. Kahaluu is close to the Outrigger hotel. We also recommend two step Hōnaunau Bay or Caption Cook monument. Early morning is best and if in doubt don’t go out!
Beaches
Watch out…. It’s ROCKY! The Big Island is the youngest of the Hawaiian islands leading to A LOT OF SHARP LAVA ROCK. However, it does have some beautiful beaches. Choose Magic Sands or Kua Bay close to Kona town for a quick dip. For longer beach day 30 minutes north of Kona you will find Mauna Kea Beach, Hapuna Beach, and Wailea Beach (69s). These 3 northern beaches are the longest and have the most sand. For the adventurous hikers try Makalawena for powder sugar sand, Pololuu for black sand, and Mahana beach for green sand.
Fishing
Kona has excellent sports fishing options. Look for charters out of Honokōhau harbor.
Manta Ray Snorkel
Watch magnificent manta rays glide through the ocean at night. Kona is one of the only places to do this. We recommend going with smaller company such as Eka Canoe Adventures or Anelakai Adventures for authentic Hawaiian experience.
