Kailua-Kona

If you are on the Big Island in the Kona Area, you might want to check out the following places.
  • Kaloko-Honokohau National Historic Park-This park was established to preserve, protect and interpret the traditional Hawaiian Activities and culture that formerly thrived on the site. Open from 8:30-4 pm daily. Activities include ocean recreation, wildlife viewing and hiking. You can check out their site here.
  • Honokohau Harbor-Join a snorker cruise and swim in the colorful underwater world of the Pacific. Romantic sunsets sails along the coast also depart here.


  • Ahu'ena Heiau-King Kamehameha I restored this shrine in 1812. Located near the Kailua Pier, it includes thatched structures, wooden images and a canoe landing.
  • Hulihe'e Palace-See the collection of beautiful furniture and fascinating artifacts at this museum, once a vacation residence of Hawaiian Royalty.
  • Moku'aikaua Church-This church is just right across the street from Hulihe'e Palace. This was the location in 1837 of Hawaii's first Christian church. Artifacts are housed in the back of the church.
  • Kona Side Shopping- Browse for gifts in the shops along Ali'i Drive in Kailua-Kona. Head down Kuakini Hwy to the Keauhou Shopping Center and continue your shopping excursion.


You can rent a car to get to these cool places but if you would rather have a guide and see more of Kona. Just contact me. Aloha!
