Plus, we'll take a stroll through the historic Kona Hotel Shopping area, filled with charming shops and local treasures, and delve into the history of the Hulihe‘e Palace, a former royal retreat that gives you a glimpse into Hawaii's regal past.
But that's not all! Just a short drive from Kona in Kealakekua, we visit Aloha De Nada Empanadas, where you’ll find some of the best handmade empanadas on the island. It’s a bit out of the way, but trust me-it’s absolutely worth the trip!

I lived in Kailua Kona for seven years. You hit tourist traps and missed the rain forests and stunning areas. Very disappointed 😢
