Kailua-Kona

Sun, sea life and seafood – this is Kailua-Kona.

Beautiful Kailua-Kona is relaxed – so relaxed it’s just “Kona” to the locals – but there’s still plenty to see and do. It’s worth a visit for its seafood chowder alone! The whales love Kona so much you can wave at them from the beach. Snorkel with stingrays, see turtles at the green sand beach and dive with dolphins. The locals will show you just how chilled out Kona can be: A morning visit to snow-capped Mauna Kea means fresh snow can be delivered to the beach by that afternoon. Fancy building a snowman on a tropical beach in Hawaii?
