5)     Attend A Luau

A lot of people believe that going to a luau is a must-have Hawaiian experience; the Courtyard Marriot King Kamehameha’s Kona Beach, containing the Island Breeze Luau, is a top choice for most visitors. The fact that it is right at Kona Bay makes this Luau not only picturesque and aesthetic, but also tremendously convenient.

6)     Witness The Historic Town Of Kona

This stunning seaside town has a history that dates back over 200 years. You can visit the Hulihe’e palace (which used to be a royal vacation house), Mokuaikaua Church (the very first Hawaiian Christian Church), and enjoy a dinner under the magical sunset.

7)     Visit The First Octopus Farm In The World

If you were thinking that the seahorse farm was too good to be true, you certainly will not believe your eyes when you learn about THIS. At the Kanaluoa Octopus Farm, you can not only enhance your knowledge about these curious creatures, but also peep into the all the research being performed to boost their conservation.

8)     Hike Up To The Pololu Valley

If you can drive up all the way to the Kohala Coast as far as the road allows you, you will be rewarded in the form of a supreme scenic outlook (certainly one of the best you will find throughout the island). If you are in the mood to sweat yourself a bit (or a lot), you can always make the steep hike all the way down to the sandy black beach right at the bottom. During your drive, you can also make a stop at the pretty Hawi town and feast your eyes.

9)     Go For A Sunbath At The Hapuna Beach

Many tourists and locals rank this beach as their favorite in the Big Island. Not only is it large and unbelievably beautiful, but it is also the perfect swimming spot. Unlike most beaches, this one will also offer you a bit of shade that you can relax under. And if you are thirsty for a pint of tropical cocktail, you also have the option of turning to the Westin Hapuna Beach Resort.

10) Watch Whales

Every winter (December to April) the humpback whales make their way to the warmer Hawaiian waters for mating and giving birth, and they are certainly a sight to behold. If you happen to be in Hawaii during these months, you should certainly take some time out and go on a whale-watching expedition.
