5 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.

Visiting Hawaii Tropical Bioreserve and Garden and Scuba & Snorkeling will get you outdoors. Popular historic sites such as The Painted Church and Pu'uhonua O Honaunau National Historical Park are in your itinerary. Explore the numerous day-trip ideas around Kailua-Kona: Hilo (Rainbow Falls, Pacific Tsunami Museum, &more), Waikoloa Petroglyph Preserve (in Waikoloa) and Hapuna Beach State Recreation Area (in Puako). There's still lots to do: stroll through Makalawena/Pu'u Ali'i, kick back and relax at Manini'owali Beach (Kua Bay), cruise along Saddle Road, and get a taste of the local shopping with Mountain Thunder Coffee Plantation.
