Kapaau, Kailua Kona & Kailua Hawaii Rainforest and Waterfall Hike
We saved and paid for our vacation before it began. The plan was to fly straight from Atlanta to Hawaii, spend the night, then get on a cruise ship for 7 days to see 4 of the islands. Deloris planned excursions at every stop including rainforest hikes with waterfall swimming, zip lining, watching a sunrise from atop a 10,000 foot crater and biking down it, a luau, surfing lessons, and a helicopter tour of one of the islands. Epic doesn't describe it all. What a great way for us to celebrate 10 years of marriage. Awesome!

Big Island Hawaii. Part 2. Kohala Orientation.
December 2009.

The area was named after the dominating geological feature Kohala Mountain, the oldest of Hawaiʻi Island's five major volcanic mountains. The current districts cover the north and western sides of the mountain, 20°7′55″N 155°47′38″W. It was one of the five ancient divisions of the island called moku.
The natural habitats in Kohala range across a wide rainfall gradient in a very short distance - from less than 5 inches (130 mm) a year on the coast near Kawaihae to more than 150 inches (3,800 mm) year near the summit of Kohala Mountain, a distance of just 11 miles (18 km). Near the coast are remnants of dry forests, and near the summit is a cloud forest, a type of rainforest that obtains some of its moisture from cloud drip in addition to precipitation. This precipitation allowed the northeast coast to be developed into sugarcane plantations.
King Kamehameha I, the first King of the unified Hawaiʻian Islands, was born in North Kohala west of Hāwī, at an ancient site called the Moʻokini Heiau, preserved within Kohala Historical Sites State Monument. The original Kamehameha Statue stands in front of the community center in Kapaʻau, and duplicates are found at Aliʻiolani Hale in Honolulu, and in the US Capitol in Washington, D.C.
Other parks include Hapuna Beach State Recreation Area, Samuel Spencer Beach, Puʻukoholā Heiau National Historic Site, Lapakahi State Historical Park. and kēōkea Beach County Park. The end of Akoni Pule Highway (Hawaii state route 270) provides access to Pololū Valley. The Hawaii Belt Road connects in the southern end of the Akoni Pule Highway to Kona in the south and Hāmākua to the east.
Kohala has two small airports. Upolu Airport is on Upolu Point at the northern tip of the island. Waimea-Kohala Airport is south of the town of Waimea, Hawaii County, Hawaii.
Waimea is a census-designated place (CDP) in Hawaiʻi County, Hawaiʻi, United States. The population was 7,028 at the 2000 census. Since each U.S. state cannot have more than one post office of the same name and there are many 'Waimeas' on the islands of Hawaiʻi, the official USPS name for Waimea is Kamuela.
Waimea is the largest town in the interior of the Big Island, and is the center for ranching activities and paniolo culture. The Parker Ranch in and around Waimea is the largest privately-owned cattle ranch in the US, and the annual Fourth of July rodeo is a major event.
Waimea is also home to the headquarters of two astronomical observatories located on Mauna Kea, the W. M. Keck Observatory and the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope. (wikipedia)

Farm Tours in North Kohala, Big Island
North Kohala has a long, deep and rich agricultural story.
In pre-contact times, Hawaiian agricultural systems fed a population of 30,000 people in North Kohala. Kalo (taro) was grown in abundance in the wetlands, such as in Pololu Valley (pictured) and ‘uala (sweetpotato) and ko (sugar cane) in a vast dryland field system to the South. During the sugar plantation era, multi-ethnic community life was rooted in sharing and bartering from individual homesteads, and gathering and hunting from the mountains, gulches and ocean—practices that are still a part of life in North Kohala.
Today, the North Kohala community is committed to revitalizing the local food system and agricultural traditions. Come meet the farmers who are growing food and perpetuating culture in our community today! We have farm tours and tastings, culinary events and farm fun for the whole family.

Pololu Valley - Most Beautiful Big Island Hikes
Pololu Valley in the Big Island
Pololu valley is the most northern of the impressive valleys that are carved into the Kohala volcano at the lush green pastures of the Kohala region on the Big Island.
The spectacular views of the valley and the steep cliffs that end in the ocean are worth a trip on their own, but the real thing to do here is hiking to the black sand beach at the valley floor! There also are some pretty cool things to do close to Pololu valley to make your visit into a small road trip.

Ep 4: Five days in Big Island, Hawaii
We visited The Island of Hawaii popularly known as The Big Island and rightly so! It takes 6 hours to drive around the island even if you don’t stop for a beautiful vista point overlooking the Pacific or a magnificent lava fields. Here is our detailed iternerary for our lovely trip to the Big Island.
Day 1: Went for snorkel @Mauna Kea Beach Be sure to read this very nice written article before:
Day 2: Hawaii Volcanos National Park. It is a huge park and it will take an entire day for you to cover.
Day 3: Pu`uhonua O Hōnaunau National Historical Park followed by another snorkel at Kahalu’u Beach (
Day 4: Waipo valley lookout:
Akaka Falls State Park: Try to park your car outside of the designated parking area. They charge 8$ if you park within the designated parking for the falls. There are two ways of reaching the Akaka Falls, we chose the longest route which was a short 45 minutes walk to the falls and back but it was totally worth it as it went through a tropical jungle.
Kaumana Caves
Flea Market at Kaiua Kona
Sunset at Mauna Kea Visitor Center- We did not have a 4X4 vehicle and hence we did not go all the way up to the Mauna Kea Summit. Instead we went to Sunset Hill to watch the sunset.
Our stay:
Where to stay:
Kona - Surfers paradise. The sunny part of the island and also the more happening.
Hilo - Very green and non urban. It was very beautiful and gave us Kaua’i like feels when we went there. Most of the locals stay this side of the island.
Waikoloa - This is more like a small hotel township. There is Mariott, Hilton and some other condos in the village. Many shopping complexes such as Kings Shops and Queen shops are also inside. The advantage of staying here was that we had plenty of food options few feet away from us. This was 30mins north of Kona.
Things not to be missed:
Hawaii volcanoes national park : This park is another experience. Just witnessing the landscape changing right in front of your eyes is truly a different experience and it should not be missed if you visit Big Island
Restaurants we visited during our stay:
Sweet Cane Cafe:
Under The Bodhi tree -
Waimea coffee company -
Kamana Kitchen -
Swami's Dosa Grill -
