    A lovely park and well worth the time to learn some history of the islands. We highly recommend it, especially the movie describing how the islands came together under one ruler.

    Stopped by here to check out the Wood Working Festival. Some really very nice and excellent craftsmanship pieces were on display, but that's not all. They also have on display oil paintings, jewelry, prints and the like. Quite interesting to browse and look. Unfortunately most of the pieces I really liked were way out of my price range.

    After briefly considering using the spa services at our hotel at Hapuna Beach and being a little stunned by what you get (or do not get) for your money, I decided to look around nearby. I was so happy to find Blue Dragon for myself and my husband. We booked 90 minutes massages and virtually floated out of there. Mind you this is a massage studio, not a "spa", and these practitioners are not messing around. Also, everything smells so soothing. I love that this is a local business that takes pride in its work. Also, Renee, who I made the appointments with, is so lovely and helpful. Thank you Kachina and Shiloh!

    Moses is absolutely wonderful! Can create or repair anything. We have used him numerous times with great satisfaction. Nice to have a true jeweler on the Big Island!

    This was only my second whale watching trip and I already know it’s going to be my best. Accompanied by my magical friend, Kim, who is also a known whale whisperer, we witnessed joyful humpbacks almost every 5 minutes of our 2 hour tour.
    Captains Steve and Suelang were incredibly informative, friendly and personable. Sharing their love of whales, catching whale song with their Go-Pro, educating us on tail prints, whale patterns and then serving up the sweetest pineapple and cookies, I was swooned in every aspect. As we parted waves, Suelang shared the unique altruism of the gentle humpback and my heart squeezed with joy as I was lifted out of Da Whale Boat.

    I completed my checkout dives for a PADI open water certification with Kohala Divers. This was an amazing experience! Jonah led the dives both days and was just a wonderful, attentive and patient instructor. I learned a ton, felt very safe and had a great time! The whole crew is interactive, informative and clearly interested in helping guests get the most out of the experience. We saw fish, nudibranchs, eel, octopus, gorgeous coral and were serenaded by humpback songs the entire time! Ten out of five stars

    Captain Major was awesome! We had the time of our lives. We saw humpback whales and dolphins. We was a great host and so accommodating.

    We had an amazing time with Captain G! He was extremely knowledgeable about the whales but also about Hawaiian history which made the experience even better. He knew exactly where to position the boat for the best views of the whales too, we had multiple whales come fairly close to the boat or swim right by us for amazing photos and videos.

    This was a stop made by one of our tours to this island. They do hand out samples and when I specifically asked to sample a particular kind, they readily opened a can and let me taste a nut. Lots of choices and reasonably price. Was hoping to watch them through large window as they worked but that area was closed the day we were there. If you want some macadamias nuts, this is good place to buy them

    Diving with Liquid Cosmos gets better and better..if that is possible! Jess..Mike..Noe take it to the next level withe their knowledge..passion for the ocean. And all creatures in it..and their amazing combined years of experience. My husband and I are experienced divers but our nieces are not...and with the assistance of these 3 we're able to have wonderful safe and confident dives every time. This is concierge service on a custom designed boat for a personal small group experience. We love diving with them and will return!

    We had an amazing private charter sunset sail—Captain Steve was knowledgeable and friendly and made everyone feel safe & welcome. Our onboard snacks were delicious. The sunset was gorgeous & we saw amazing stars. All in all a beautiful, memorable wonderful time aboard the sailboat with Steve & first mate Jess.
