Presentazione generale
Kona and the Kohala Coast
Dry coast, reefs, coffee shops and historic sites on western Hawaii Island.
The discovery of Kona and the Kohala coast is centred around Puuhonua o Honaunau, Kealakekua Bay and Hapuna Beach. The stay thus alternates between the island landscapes, the coastline, the heritage and the natural spaces, which gives a concrete picture of the destination beyond its only best known site.
Vedi tutto
For a stay of 3 to 7 days, a quiet rhythm works well. Also to be anticipated: conditions to be checked according to the season. A car is usually the easiest way to connect the different sectors. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be verified step by step.

Luoghi imperdibili
Una selezione per iniziare a sognare e organizzare il soggiorno — non un elenco esaustivo di tutto ciò che c’è da vedere.
Remarkable location
Mauna Loa
Mauna Loa It is less impressive by a spectacular tip than by the breadth of its lava flanks, which descend to the coasts of Hawaii Island. The roads and viewpoints around the volcano reveal black flows, recent lands and a feeling of naked space, very different from the beaches of Hawaii. Kona or Kohala.
Place indismissible
Puuhonua o Honaunau
Pushuhonua o Hōnaunau preserves an ancient Hawaiian refuge on the shores of a black lava and clear water coast. Stone walls, ceremonial platforms, wooden kis and coconut trees give a precise picture of sacred rules, protection and power in Hawaii before western contact.
Nature and landscape
Kealakekua Bay
Kealakekua Bay combines turquoise water, green cliffs and historical memory related to the arrival of Captain Cook. The bay is known for snorkeling, especially near the monument accessible by boat, kayak or demanding hike; corals and fish often appear in water calmer than elsewhere on the Kona coast.
Nature and landscape
Hapuna Beach
Hāpuna Beach runs one of the large white sandy beaches on the Kohala coast, with a gentle slope towards a often bright water. When the sea is calm, it is suitable for swimming and light bodyboarding; when the swell rises, the ressac quickly reminds that this beach remains open on the sea.
