Things To Do
Don the Beachcomber
Don the Beachcomber is located within the Royal Kona Resort. It is a tiki bar that has been named one of the top 5 best bar or lounges on the Hawaiian islands by Hawai'i Magazine. We visited it in October 2018 and the views are awesome, especially during sunset. Highly recommended.
FairWind Big Island Ocean Guides- Snorkeling
Voted #1 Snorkel Cruise on the Big Island. We did this snorkel cruise in October 2018 to Kealakekua Bay and Captain Cook Monument. Lots of people were working on the boat to watch you in the water and check in with you, the area they take you to is beautiful, and there is a slide and high dive on the boat.
