Things To Do

Here are some of our favorite places to go and things to do. It is a work in progress so check back frequently! For hikes and walks, the All Trails app is very helpful. WAIPIO VALLEY IS CLOSED TO THE PUBLIC NO MATTER WHAT ANYTHING TELLS YOU OTHERWISE!

Kona Brewing Co.

74-5612 Pawai Place, Kailua-Kona, HI 96740

We suggest the food, beer, and/or a brewery tour! They are one of the most sustainable breweries in the world, with some tasty beer you won't find anywhere but the tour at the end.

Honokaa

Honokaa, HI 96727

Wander through the shops of this cute town and find some unique souvenirs. Don't forget to stop by Fudge & Coffee to say hi to Neenee, have some coffee, a snack, or lunch! We also highly recommend the dumpling place.

Hawaii Volcanoes National Park

Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, HI 96785

Wander through the national park, stop for lunch, or there is a winery outside the gates as well. Check the website before you go in case the volcanoes are erupting and visibility is limited.

Spencer Beach Park

62-3461 Kawaihae Road, Waimea, HI 96743

Family friendly beach with soft sand and a short walk to the water from the parking lot. It was one of Mrs. Kelley's favorite places to go.

Akaka Falls State Park

HI 96728

Easy walk on a paved path with beautiful flowers and waterfalls to be seen. Good for the kiddos!

Puakō Petroglyph Park

1 North Kaniku Drive, Waimea, HI 96743

TAKE WATER! It gets warm walking on the lava beds, but so cool to see all of the petroglyphs that are maintained here. Follow the path back...we got a little lost and took a detour on the road we drove in on. Good for the kids to do! Approx. 1.7 miles round trip

Ola Brew Co

74-5598 Luhia Street, Kailua-Kona, HI 96740

Parking can be challenging, but they have tasty food and some unique beverages we haven't seen anywhere else.

Big Island Brewhaus

64-1066 Hawaiʻi Belt Road, Waimea, HI 96743

We always stop in once or twice for a tasty beverage and good food.

The Fish And The Hog

64-957 Hawaiʻi Belt Road, Waimea, HI 96743

THE BEST BURGER you will find almost anywhere. All of the food is good thought. They don't do reservations so go early. Try a Guava Margarita if you like them spicy!

Shaka Tacoz

75-6129 Ali‘i Drive, Kailua-Kona, HI 96740

Order some tacos and wander the shops while you wait. They will do 2 tacos instead of 3 if you want a little less. Can't go wrong with these.

The Original Donkey Ball Store

79-7411 Hawaiʻi Belt Road, Kealakekua, HI 96750

Hear us out...the name is weird, but they are tasty!

Kohala Burger & Taco

613665 Akoni Pule Highway, Waimea, HI 96743

Been at the beach and need a quick bite to satisfy the hunger? Here is a great spot. Plus the Shave Ice next door is a MUST! Shave ice is cash only and has ice cream too. Try lavender lemonade with ginger lemongrass.

Rainbow Falls

Hilo, HI 96720

A beautiful hike, look up on All Trails for exact directions.
