Places to visit
Mauna Kea Summit
The highest point in the state of Hawaii, Mauna Kea Summit offers amazing views for guests and rises to a staggering 14,000 ft above sea level. You can reach the summit using your Kona car rental in approximately four hours, but be prepared that the air gets thin when you reach the top. Mauna Kea was once an active volcano, but its last eruption is estimated to have happened around 4,000 years ago. Today, however, it remains a stunning viewpoint and a must-visit during any trip to the Big Island.
Honomu & Akaka Falls
Located in the west of Hawaii's Big Island and around a two-hour drive from Kailua-Kona, the village of Honomu is a step back in time for visitors and provides a glimpse into the past of Hawaii. Guests can enjoy everything from locally-grown coffee to picking up a perfect Hawaiian souvenir, before heading off to the nearby Akaka Falls to sample the amazing and picturesque cascades that are just a short hike from the village.
Manini'owali Beach
Ensconced in a rocky outcrop just 20 minutes north of Kailua-Kona, the white sandy shores of Manini'owali Beach offer some of the best opportunities for visitors to catch a glimpse of local marine wildlife. Turtles and dolphins are regularly seen in the nearby waters, while the soft, white sand and clear, blue ocean make this a fantastic place to simply kick back and relax on a hot Hawaiian afternoon.
