In this video we are going over some of my favorite of the beaten path / Big Island hidden gems. If your looking for some of the top things to do big Island of hawaii look no further.
Things to do in kona hawaii
Kekaha kai state park - is a beach park located along the north Kona coast on the island of Hawaiʻi. The main beach areas are Maniniʻowali Bay, Makalawena beach at Puʻu Aliʻi Bay, and Mahaiʻula Bay. When it comes to things to do in Kona These are some of my favorite beaches on the island. White sand beaches with coconut palms beautiful turquoise waters. No list of hawaii hidden gems is complete without mentioning these beaches. The drive in is through a dirt road for about a mile and half. there is plenty of parking . They do close the park so make sure you check what time the gate closes so you are not locked out. Did i mention the sunsets here are amazing.
Kiholo Bay
This is another Big Island gem that takes some work to get to. If you are looking for things to do in kona hawaii this might be a good option. Its a long hike along the beach be respectful to the homes there and don't go on private property. The lagoon is beautiful it s a mix of sea and fresh water. this is definitely a big island hawaii gem.
The coffee shack
If your looking for things to do on big island of hawaii i hope eating delicious food is on your list. the coffee shack has the best sandwiches on the island. The bread is baked fresh the sandwiches are large enough to share and the lilikoi cheesecake is the best I have ever had. This is a must eat if you
Manta Night Dive
This is the best paid excursion on the Island. It is something that you cant do any where else. If your looking for one of the most unique experiences and things to do in kona look no further. The experience is something you will remember for the rest of your life. When you get out to dive site you can snorkel or scuba if you choose to snorkel then you will hold on to a floatation device and the manta while swim up against you. Keep your hands to your self you are not allowed to touch the animals. I highly recommend the manta night dive.
Magic Sands Beach
If your thinking about what to do on Big Island the answer is catch a sunset at magic sands beach. The sunsets here are the best sunset on the big island. The waves here can get big therefor use common sense and know your limits. This is a great beach for body boarding or body surfing.
Kaumana Caves
If your looking for things to do in hilo hawaii thats of the beaten path and you want to get a little adventurous check out the kaumana caves. Hilo is one of my favorite places minus the constant rain. The list of Hilo things to do is a long one from waterfalls to volcano national park. In the next video i drop we are going to talk about what to do in Hilo Hawaii so stay tune for that one.
I Hope you enjoyed this video leave comment below some of your favorite spots on the Big Island Of Hawaii

Beautiful Island and a beautiful video. Just a tip, if you're not an experienced swimmer, be careful at magic sands beach. I've seen many people get wrecked by the particularly strong waves (that look like any other waves) that can slam some swimmers to the sands below.
@PackYourBags
@PackYourBags 3 жыл бұрын
It’s amazing how many people don’t practice common sense .. respect the ocean and the power it possesses never turn your back to it and if your not experienced swimmer and see large waves stay out or rip current signs .. but if your can swim or boogie board fun spot for some close out barrels but you will get pummeled 🤙

@PackYourBags
@PackYourBags 2 жыл бұрын
to be honest they all go to the same two places so the company doesnt make a big difference. Its a short ride to the snorkel area. so when you get in the water they have this floatation device that you hold on to . you don't swim at all its not really snorkeling . you just hold on to the device and the tour operator may move you around but you dont really swim just hold on and enjoy the view. they swim up to you just dont touch them. if you have any other questions feel free to ask.

@Komainu959
@Komainu959 Жыл бұрын
This is an old comment but just in case someone else is wondering the same. Beaches- If your idea is of nice soft sand beaches then no, the Puna district is not for you. There is a black "sand" beach at Isaac Hale park but it really depends on the wave action. Basically ever since Kapoho and the tide pools got covered in lava there isn't much for sand or swimmable beaches. As for food. I haven't been for awhile but there are a few decent places. But Hilo and Kona sides of the island would much greater selections to choose from. Personally I wouldn't make a vacation stay in that area unless I was going to feature Volcanoes NP heavily as there are lots of stuff to do there.

Not to mention, only one location on the east side of the island? Most of the "hidden gems" on Hawai'i can be found on the east side.

Was there a few weeks ago and it is absolutely the most crowded we have ever seen it. The traffic was horrible the beaches were crowded. Along with many closed businesses. Making the available restaurant overcrowded with long lines. We've traveled here often and we're saddened by the trash and toilet paper at some of our favorite spots many of which you listed. Many times struggling to keep the 6-foot space due to others refusing to respect any boundaries. Don't expect it to be slow. It is not. One day while sitting at a beach in the flight path to Kona ... large passenger plans came in one after another the entire day. Every Beach we visited during the almost two weeks wasn't what we would have expected. So go with the expectation of crowds and long waits.

“Hidden gems” -big island video. REALITY- 👇🏻 “No jobs offered to people who move from mainland to Hawaii• •homeless people treated like trash from mainland, drug addicts, locals dislike mainlanders because they come to enjoy the island but not care for it. Lack of respect to land and people they want to be left alone, there is a racism-they dislike anyone who isn’t Hawaiian. (Not all, but many of them do.) Forced to register as a democrat, although some of their political beliefs might align opposite of it their voices aren’t heard nor does their vote count for anything oh yeah! Were a Christian monarchy before US forced themselves on them. Sky high prices for everything.” This video is beautiful But the locals are hurting and being exploited by tourists. If you’re going to talk about gems. Talk about the neglected pain also.
