Kailua Kona Vacations, Tourism & Travel Information

Usually referred to as Kona by the locals, Kailua-Kona neighbors Kailua -- this is where the similarities end, however.  Although they encompass the same scenic beaches with crystal clear views of the Pacific, Kailua-Kona has a lot more to offer in terms of experience.  Unfortunately this experience does not extend to kids (it is a bit too calm for their enjoyment), but adults will find Kailua-Kona a wonderful place to spend their vacation, either as a place to escape from life or to escape with a loved one.

For a great start to your vacation, consider a visit to the Hulihe'e Palace, the former home of Hawaiian royalty.  Beautiful palm trees guard this ancient palace, still intact after centuries of abuse.  With a view of the nearby Pacific, this has always been a popular romantic spot in Kailua-Kona.

Besides the Hulihe'e Palace, Kailua-Kona also has a very famous temple, called the Kona Hawaii Temple.  A popular vacation stop, this temple belongs to the early Christians that founded Hawaii, still intact to this day.  Explore the temple to view history at its finest.

Also, Kailua-Kona offers a lot of affordable lodging inside town, including hotels and bed and breakfasts.  We suggest picking lodging at a local hotel for service that beats no other in Hawaii.  Want to learn more about Kailua-Kona?  Visit their website
