The district of Kona, on the west side of Hawai\u02bbi Island, is rich in cultural history and offers plenty of adventure travel. Keauhou Bay, where King Kamehameha III was born, is now known for its snorkeling and scuba diving, particularly for those hoping to spot manta rays. Kahalu\u02bbu Beach is a popular spot for novice surfers to catch their first wave. For more intense adventure, the End of the World \u2014 located near ancient battlefields and burial grounds \u2014 is a dramatic cliff-diving location. Parasailing excursions can take you 1,200 feet above sea level, where you can soar with the birds and take in views of the region where King Kamehameha the Great spent his final years.<\/p>\n

Weekend Adventure Kona Itinerary<\/h3>\n

Day 1 –\u00a0Check into Outrigger Kona Resort & Spa and dive right in.<\/strong><\/h4>\n

For convenient access to the activities in this itinerary stay at Outrigger Kona Resort & Spa<\/a> on the cliffs of Keauhou Bay. The newly renovated cliffside property comes with Kona’s Feast & Fire L\u016b\u02bbau<\/a>, pickleball court and ocean views.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Cliff jumping<\/strong><\/p>\n

Along Lekeleke Bay, you’ll find the historic Kuamo\u02bbo burial grounds, where warriors who fought in the 1819 battle that ended Hawai\u02bbi’s kapu system are buried. The outcome of this battle marked the end of many traditional Native Hawaiian practices, paving the way for the islands to become more Westernized. Stroll down to The End of the World<\/strong> at Kona Point, where locals and adventurous visitors line up to dive off a 40-foot cliff above the ocean. It’s strongly recommended to participate only when the water is calm and with guidance from an experienced local. Stick around afterward to catch the sunset.<\/p>\n

Keauhou Bay is a magnet for manta rays, which gather here at night to feast on plankton. For an unforgettable encounter, join Hawaii Island and Ocean Tours\u2019 Manta Ray Snorkel Tour<\/a><\/span>, which departs just outside the Outrigger Kona Resort & Spa from sunset until 11 p.m. The thrill of swimming in the ocean after dark is only surpassed by the awe of watching a manta ray with an 18- to 23-foot wingspan glide silently beneath you.<\/p>\n

Day 2 – Surf’s up.<\/h4>\n

Catch Your First Wave at Kahalu\u02bbu Beach<\/strong><\/p>\n

Take a surf lesson at Kahalu\u02bbu Beach<\/a>, where the gentle, rolling waves make it an ideal spot for beginners. The real adventure is learning how to catch a wave and ride it all the way to shore\u2014without wiping out. Afterward, grab a snorkel set from the resort and dive back in for a swim alongside colorful reef fish.<\/p>\n

Take a Break at The Temple Craft Beer, Cocktail & Wine Bar<\/strong><\/p>\n

Locals love The Temple, originally founded in Hilo on the east side of the island. Its second location in Kona is a completely open-air, oceanfront gem with an impressive beverage program and a menu designed for perfect pairings. The chef blends global flavors\u2014think Mediterranean flatbreads, Spanish-style steamed clams and Lebanese baba ganoush\u2014with local ingredients like kalo (taro), \u02bbulu (breadfruit) and kanpachi (amberjack). Whatever you do, always order the special.<\/p>\n

Parasailing over Kona<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Waterlogged yet? Dry off with an exhilarating Big Island Parasailing Experience<\/a>. Soar up to 1,200 feet above the sparkling Pacific on a single, tandem or triple flight, taking in panoramic views of the entire Kona Coast. When it\u2019s time to land, a boat will be there to gently catch you. With its consistent sunshine and calm conditions, Kona offers ideal weather for parasailing year-round.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
