Kona Cruise Port

Kona in detail

Make a splash on the beautiful west side of The Big Island; Kona is known for snorkelling, sunsets and sensational beaches. With 300 days of sunshine each year it’s a sunbather’s paradise. Aside from glorious sands, Kona has wonderful souvenir shops, alfresco restaurants and important historic sites (like the Captain Cook Monument).

Enjoy the great outdoors on your stop in Kona; spend hours walking the Kaloko-Honokohau National Historical Park with its many coastal trails and fascinating ruins. It’s the ideal place to spot native Hawaiian wildlife too like the water birds and sea turtles that make Kona their home. For those who are feeling more adventurous, water sports are a possibility from scuba diving and sailing to deep-sea fishing and surfing.

By night, sit back and enjoy the local produce. Island chefs are fast gaining a reputation for inventive gourmet dishes using local ingredients. Try the unusual Hawaiian ‘Poke’ recipe, which combines raw fish with tomatoes, onions, chilli and soy sauce.
