Kona transforms after dark. Neighborhoods around Kealakekua Bay and Puuhonua o Honaunau take on new energy, new sounds, and new possibilities — and the best way to discover it is on foot, moving between venues the way locals do. Track down Kaloko-Honokohau National Historical Park for the kind of night that only locals know about.
The sunny west coast of Hawaii's Big Island — a strip of resorts, coffee farms, ancient Hawaiian sites, and world-class snorkeling.

Kona is primarily visited for nature and food, but the city takes on a different character at night. Areas near Kealakekua Bay and Puuhonua o Honaunau come alive after sunset, offering an experience you can't get during the day. Look for Kaloko-Honokohau National Historical Park — the kind of place that daytime visitors never know existed.
Mornings are best for snorkeling — afternoon winds can chop up the water. Kealakekua Bay kayak tours should be booked in advance.
