Island flavors
For a sampling of the island's freshest flavors, head to Hawi Farmers Market for a Saturday morning breakfast. Its home-baked treats and prepared foods are a great way to start the day. Home cooks can also pick up locally sourced produce, meat, and dairy. Farm-to-market offerings such as exotic fruit and vegetables, Asian-inspired snacks, home-brewed beer, and a variety of crafts make this a fun shopping destination for a variety of tastes.
A favorite with local families, Bamboo Restaurant serves some of the best local food on the Big Island. Menu highlights include teriyaki, kalua pork, and fresh fish served in a variety of traditional styles. Its big selection for kids makes this an easy choice, even for families with picky eaters. Be sure to save room for their homemade ice cream after your meal.
Family focused
Guests of all ages will enjoy a day at Flumin' Kohala. The knowledgeable tour guides detail the area's history and natural features as you paddle along canals and chutes, with plenty of information for kids and adults. The trip is slow paced, relaxing, and scenic, with all sorts of good photo ops. Be sure to pack a dry change of clothes and plenty of snacks.
For the best views around, no hiking required, hop in the car and follow Kohala Mountain Road. This drive winds along the Kona Coast before climbing high into the mountains. Eucalyptus and coffee fields eventually give way to rocky cliffs and Hawaii's endless sky. Photo stops, bathrooms, parking, and dining make this an easy self-guided day trip. Drive back around sunset for an incredible photo finish to your day.
