So Much to See, So Much to Do In Mauna Kea

The largest island in Hawaii, Hawaii Island, also fittingly known as the Big Island, has no shortage of places to explore. Island adventures can begin right on our hotel property: hike the Ala Kahakai Historical Trail from Kauna’oa Bay to Hapuna Beach State Park, make reservations for Mauna Kea’s acclaimed luau, join the free Saturday morning art tour, enjoy a round on Mauna Kea’s golf course or play the Seaside Tennis Club. Island adventures range from waterfalls and rainforests to ziplines, helicopter tours, horseback rides and road trips. Among the most popular island destinations are the Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, Akaka Falls State Park, Pu’uhonua o Honaunau National Historic Park and nearby Lapkahi State Historical Park.

Ala Kahakai Trail

A portion of the 175-mile Ala Kahakai National Historic Trail traverses Kauna'oa Bay at Mauna Kea Beach Hotel across to Hapuna Beach. Put on some sturdy shoes (running shoes, tennis shoes okay) and take a hike.
