This was our 2nd time to the Big Island. The first time we visited the island we stayed in Kona for only 3 days. Quickly we realized we must come back. In April 2019 we made it happened.
From our experiences from both trips, extensive research, and talking to locals, we've put together 30 things to know about the Big Island as well as things to do.
We booked our trip from Oahu for 7 days and as we were there, we decided to extend it for one more day. The weather was a bit colder than on Oahu, most of the time there was an overcast and rain almost every day.
And even at that, we did not have finish everything that was on the Big Island itinerary.
We will be publishing separate videos with details & tips on every activity we've done.
Here is a list of everything we did:
- Greenwell Coffee Farms (free coffee plantation tour every 30 min + free coffee tasting)
- Mauka Meadows Coffee Farm (donation-based entry $5)
- Dog field trip from Waimea Humane Society

- Swimming with wild spinner dolphins & snorkeling at Capitan Cook Monument (we booked a tour with Alii Ocean Tours $169 pp)

- Volcano National Park. We spent 2 days there and did Crater Road Drive which brings you to the ocean to Hōlei Sea Arch (marked on the map) and Kilauea Iki Crater Hike. Entrance to the park is $25, valid for 7 days.
- Akatsuka Orchid Gardens. There, you can find an orchid that smells like chocolate. Free admission.
- The new black Sand Beach is marked on the map as Isaac Hale Park. The lava destroyed a part of the park covering the hot springs that used to be there, however, it formed a gorgeous beach.
- Rainbow falls & Akaka Falls (located in Hilo really close to each other)
- Mauna Kea Summit
