Just the beginning list of places to visit on the Big Island.
1. Kona Coast Resort
Kona Coast Resort, Kailua-Kona, Island of Hawaii
Check Rates ABS:HotelCheckRates-d232210?src=GoListDetail&fromServlet=GoListDetail&Action=QC_Button
Ave price: $222
2. South Point (Ka Lae) and Green Sand Beach
South Point (Ka Lae) and Green Sand Beach, Naalehu, Island of Hawaii
Visit the southern most point in the United States, but be prepared. This is a long drive - the last 12 miles or so are one lane, semi-paved road. Once you get there, it is very isolated, but it's amazing to realize you are standing where the first settlers of Hawaii arrived.
3. The Coffee Shack
The Coffee Shack, Captain Cook, Island of Hawaii
Fresh baked breads and desserts served while overlooking Kealakekua Bay! Make it a point to eat here -- breakfast or lunch.
4. Big Island Hummer Tours
http://www.bigislandhummertours.com/
Ride a Hummer into the ancient rain forests and historical sites of old Hawaii -- a great experience!
5. Blue Hawaiian Helicopters
http://www.bluehawaiian.com/bigisland
Soar over an active volcano or rainforest or all of it! This was by far the best experience of our trip!!
6. Kone Joe Coffee Plantation
http://www.konajoe.com/
Our favorite coffee on the island! Go by and take a tour of the farm, taste the various brews, shop their gift shop, and visit their little coffee shop.
7. Hapuna Beach State Park
Hapuna Beach, Kamuela, Island of Hawaii
The best beach on Hawaii (most shoreline is lava rock and cliff). Beautiful sandy beach, clean facilities, and even a food stand for hot dogs and shaved ice.
8. Waimea (Kamuela)
http://www.kamuela.com/waimea.asp
The most beautiful little ranching town, surrounded by mountains. The temperature must've been about 15-20 degrees cooler than Kailua!
9. Greenwell Farms
Greenwell Farms, Island of Hawaii, Hawaii
