Fun stuff to do in hawaii on the big island?
lalala
im going to hawaii with my family any fun ideas?
Answer
1. The Sheraton Keauhou Bay Resort, south of Kailua-Kona shines lights on the water at night around their hotel...it has attracted plankton and because there is no coral reef to block sea life that would normally be in the open ocean, the huge manta rays come at night to feed right off the hotel. So you can go at night, but you can also book a tour to do a night dive with the manta rays!

2. There is a great catamaran cruise called the Fair Wind that takes you to Kealakekua Bay for snorkeling or scuba diving. You leave from Keauhou Bay for 4-5 hours. Along the way since the water is very deep and no protected lagoons here, you have the chance of seeing flying fish scatter as the boat approaches, as well as spinner dolphins. Once there, the size of tropical fish is amazing.

3. Above Kailua-Kona is the funky artist's town of Holualoa. Hiroki Morinoue (Studio 7 on the main street) and other artists live here. You can also visit the Holualoa Coffee Factory where they package kona coffee from the cooperative of kona coffee growers here and take a short tour to learn about how coffee is graded and packaged.

4. South of town in Kealakekua Bay is the City of Refuge, absolutely the most glamorous ancient Hawaiian archeological site, in the most glamorous setting of coconut groves set along the water on black lava.

5. Don't forget to get a slice of macadamia nut pie, basically pecan pie but made with macadamia nuts. YUM.

6. There is a restaurant halfway between town and Keahou called Jamieson's. They have a branch in Haleiwa, Oahu which is not very good, this one is better. It is on the ground floor of an old condo one side of Magic Sands beach, but once in the restaurant the views are amazing. When the water is rough the waves splash over the wall on the outside terrace, so beware when selecting a table! They usually have live Hawaiian music.

7. Kailua Kona is famous for going on charter boats to go deep sea fishing for marlin, you will see many boats for hire there.
8. There is the Atlantis submarine tours that leave from a pier in town, worth to see once.

9. Also in the Kohala area is an irrigation "ditch" tour by boat. Sounds very strange and I have never done this, but friends have and say it was fun, very historic and pretty in places. It was damaged in the earthquake in few years back, check to make sure it is open again.

10. In Hilo, there is a Mauna Loa Macadamia Nut visitor center, fantasic free samples!!!!!!!!
11. Akaka Falls, north of Hilo is the most beautiful of all (easily accessible) hawaiian waterfalls.
12. And of course....Kilauea eruptions and Volcano National Park. You can hike, take boat or fly-over tours...
