Blog

Last Updated on 2019-06-11

Take a peek at Kailua Kona’s famous tourist spots, grab a pen and paper to plan your next vacation getaway with this list of exciting things you can do in this beautiful place at The Big Island!

If you want to see the lush surroundings and beautiful sunset as you smell the mouthwatering aroma of the Kona coffee, with the cool water from the Pacific kissing your toes, then check why you have to be at Kona today!

Ocean and outdoor escapades

Kailua Kona, or “Kona” as the locals call it, is located at the west side of the Hualalai Volcano. It was a city of kings, as ancient kings lived there, like King Kamehameha I, and his son King Liholiho. The missionaries who came to the island built churches and planted coffee. Later on, Kona which used to be a fishing village became a seaport and the home of water sports and exciting outdoor sports.

Kona is the perfect place for basking under the warm summer sky; while your back touches the soft sand of Kona’s postcard-perfect beaches- a summer refuge indeed! Or you can go enjoy the thrill of boating, diving, snorkeling, swimming, and surfing and get the best out of water sports as you forget all the concerns you may have in mind!
