Ever evolving and constantly idyllic, Kailua-Kona lounges on the West side of the big island of Hawaii. In 1778, Captain Cook first stepped ashore, now surfers ride waves to sinuously sculpted lava shores that rise to gorgeous orchid gardens, foothills dotted with coffee plantations under the lush shadow of the Honua’Ula Forest Reserve. Waters teem with graceful Kona Manta Rays whilst Honu green turtles nap at Two Step Cove and ancient petroglyphs stand the test of time at Kaloko-Honokohau Histoical Park where you can truly connect with the Spirit of Hawaii.
