12 days in Kailua-Kona Itinerary

Thanks to its favorable location near a mountain range blocking the northeasterly trade winds, Kailua-Kona gets little rainfall, allowing adventure seekers and nature lovers a chance to enjoy over 300 days of sunshine each year.

Venture out of the city with trips to Hilo (Mokupapapa Discovery Center, Akaka Falls State Park, &more), Pu'uhonua O Honaunau National Historical Park (in Honaunau) and Mauna Loa Scenic Drive (in Hawaii Volcanoes National Park). And it doesn't end there: identify plant and animal life at Wildlife Areas, enjoy the sand and surf at Papakōlea Green Sand Beach, contemplate in the serene atmosphere at Mokuaikaua Church, and admire the majestic nature at Hapuna Beach State Recreation Area.
