Snorkel with manta rays and sea turtles in crystal-clear waters along the Kona Coast. Sample world-famous Kona coffee at local farms before watching the sunset at a luau.
We enjoyed breakfast at Clover and Mug in the adjacent shopping center. We really loved Kua Bay for playing in the surf. We used My Kona Adventures for an amazing night snorkel with manta rays (the whole point of our trip since Kilauea had paused)

Manta ray night snorkeling and Captain Cook snorkeling trips with Sea Paradise was exceptional. The drive to Volcano National Park was about 2 hours frim this location. The Southern most bakery, Punalu'u Bake Shop, is exceptional!!!

By and large, good; can't beat the beauty and weather. Kailua waterfront must have been really popular during the Rat Pack era. Kona coffee country is engaging to visit, snorkeling and whale watching were fantastic.

It's difficult to find parking in the area and you almost always have to pay to park. Everything is really close together. It's pretty and right on the ocean, and the shopping area is very walkable.

Seen whales, turtles and wildlife. Tide is low this time of year(February) so snorkeling isn't so great. Amazing sunsets.

Keauhou shopping centre is just about walkable, and convenient for groceries, eateries and a pharmacy. Would also recommend Mountain Thunder coffee plantation for the tours, the nature walk, and, of course, the coffee!

Very nice place to visit. Lots of things to see and do. Only negative comment is very expensive eating out was very pricey even fast food and grocery were expensive.
"This is probably the nicest place in Kona. Sure if you go all the out to Waikoloa you get 5 star. But the Outrigger has been redone and is quite nice and very spacious. "
"Thank you for the hospitality. The property, amenities, location, and staff earned an A plus. Check in was really easy. The garage for our jeep was awesome (tarps off)! The condo had AC. Check out my itinerary. I stayed for 10 days. I would highly recommend this vacation for those who love recreation. Mahalo!
