Waikoloa Beach/Kona, Food and Must See's

Posted by rmt525 (KCMO) on 03/14/22 06:46 PM

Hi all!

We are traveling to the Waikoloa Beach/Kona area for a week with 2 adults and a 4yo and 12mo. We leave Wednesday, of course, I haven't planned anything other than relaxing by the pool (as much relaxing that can be done with two little ones). Anyway, I am thinking that it would be good to get list of a few top eats and must see's. Any thoughts, tips, recs would be so appreciated.

Sincerely,

A tired mom, mommin' to the best of her ability during a pandemic and social unrest.

PS, you'll be happy to know we are already fully packed :)

Must see would be Volcano National Park, especially at night if active, but its about 100 miles distant from Kona.

The Waimea Midweek Farmers Market might be fun for you. Goes from 9 AM until 2 PM Wednesdays. A very pretty continuation of the day trip would be to drive to Kawi - we thought that Hwy 250 between Waimea and Kawi was one of the prettiest scenic drives on the Big Island, and Kawi itself was a cute little place to wander around - had some pretty good places to eat too.

Edited to add: we were on the Big Island for a week in February and there's really nothing going on up at the volcano. It's still worth seeing, but don't expect the spectacular show of previous years.
