Fantastic Thai food made from scratch with locally grown ingredients. It is a small place but very clean and as fresh as it gets. It takes a bit to make food because it is all fresh but it is worth the wait. We really enjoy this place

Great food and great prices. Very friendly staff. We eat there often. And it is BYOB! Seriously, bring a six pack or a bottle of wine, they are totally fine with it. Saves lots of money!

Absolute best stargazing on the planet. Pick a night when there is clear skies but little or no moon. Get up there an hour or so before sunset so they don't stop you from driving up to the summit. 4 wheel drive is recommended. You will see things you never knew existed and more stars than you ever realized were out there.

Excellent boogie boarding and frequent turtles. Also called "Tragic Sands" because the waves can get HUGE and there can be rocks. The waves can also be pretty calm with little or no rocks. Use caution but on a good day its a very nice place in Kona.

One of the most beautiful beaches anywhere. Emerald green sand. Good to play in the surf, although it does get rough sometimes. Its about a two mile walk along the coast from where you park, or locals will drive you out there in pickup trucks for a fee. Any Jeep will make it if you are careful and have off road driving experience.

This is a very nice beach that we usually have all to ourselves. It is about a 15 minute walk through the rainforest to get to it. The waves are excellent for people of all ages and the boogie boarding is decent. Very nice place.
