This is a beautiful national park that is about 1.5-2 hours away from Kona on the other side of the island. We recommend making a day trip out of it. Plan your hikes ahead because there is a lot to see! We suggest staying until sun down so you can experience the lava eruption.
This is a night snorkel or scuba dive with manta rays! We did this the first time we went to Kona and it was the highlight of our trip. Truly a unique experience and our number one recommendation while you're here!
There are an endless amount of Kona coffee farms to visit, but this is our favorite one we have been to!
This is an easily accessible scenic waterfall near Hilo, the rainforest side of the island.
