Big island in Hawaii beckons

Lately, a Hawaii Island by the name of Kailua-Kona has evolved into a dream destination of many tourists. You’ll be surprised at how much this place has developed into a heavenly vacation spot and even a home away from home. For many years, the perception of people towards the island has only come from travel catalogues showing it as a settlement at the foot of a volcano. It has been praised for its magnificent weather and ample water supply. 

From its humble beginnings of being a nest for missionary groups, who later turned it into a seaport, now, it’s gained a reputation as a food paradise. Most people are surprised by the growing food scene on this island. Growing at the same pace are the ocean front resorts and villas which have sprung up on the island, in addition to restored historical sites and fine restaurants. Ready for Hawaii?

• Fishing
  If you’re into fishing, you’ll consider a trip in this island a good catch. Among all the Hawaiian Islands, Kailua-Kona prides on being one of the best deep-sea fishing spots. Be part of the craze and rent a charter boat and try to break the existing records of fishing enthusiasts. You’ll be surprised how many there are. There are reportedly far more fishing hobbyists in this harbour than in all of the islands’ harbours combined. Take your catch and have a local restaurant cook it for you. The freshness of your catch is what your taste buds crave after a day out at the sea.
  
  
• Of Snorkelling, Diving and...Golfing?
  Of Snorkelling, Diving and...Golfing? If you are having second thoughts about fishing, trade in the fishing pole for a scuba suit. The Kailua-Kona waters are crystal blue which makes it perfect for scuba diving and snorkelling. The magnificent and colourful schools of fishes that greet first-time divers are really a sight to see. However, the highlight of the underwater experience would be to witness the large sea turtles swimming by every now and then. Local tour operators also offer an island sightseeing tour from the harbor, that is, if you’re not really into the idea of plunging into the water. Speaking of staying dry, how about a game in one of Hawaii’s lush and spectacular golf courses? This Big Island isn’t named as the “Golf Capital of Hawaii” for nothing. It is probably the most luxurious view any golfer would ever see with the immaculate black lava-lined fairways and Royal Palm Trees dotting the sidelines. The island is also known to be a home to many known country clubs and championship courses. Be careful of the strong winds though as many golf balls have landed in the ocean. Even low handicap golfers have lost more balls here than any other courses.
  
  
• Coffee
  Start your fun-filled day by treating yourself to a cup of one-hundred percent pure Kona coffee. It is Hawaii’s very own coffee grown particularly in the north and south Kona. A sip of this coffee can definitely make your day even better.
