Step back in time to a sanctuary of Hawaii’s past, where traditional Hawaiian lifestyle is preserved, and ancient temples and ki’i (wooden images) whisper stories from the past.

Kona Coffee
From Kailua-Kona south, the area is dotted with coffee farms. There are many spots to stop for a taste of the local brew…be sure to take some home!

Kealakekua Bay
This sheltered bay is teeming with brightly colored fish and perfect for snorkeling and kayaking. It’s also historically significant as the site of Captain Cook’s demise in 1779.
