7 days in Island of Hawaii 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.

Change things up with these side-trips from Kailua-Kona: Hawi Center: Hawaii Cigar & Ukulele (in Hawi), Hilo (Basically Books, Akaka Falls State Park, &more) and Waipiʻo Valley Lookout (in Honokaa). There's much more to do: fulfill a lifelong dream with a swim-with-the-dolphins experience, enjoy the sand and surf at Hapuna Beach State Recreation Area, stroll through Kahaluu Beach, and relax in the rural setting at Hala Tree.
