Your Epic One-Week Big Island Guide
Staying at our [Kaloko rainforest Airbnb] places you right in the middle of the island. Cooler nights, quiet mornings, and easy access to both the coast and the mountains let you explore without rushing or backtracking.
-
Pick up your [Jeep], grab groceries in Kona, and settle into the rainforest. Enjoy the cooler air, the sounds of the forest, and an early night to reset after travel.
-
Download Yelp for food ideas and the [Shaka Guide app] before heading out. It’s like having a local narrator riding along with you, pointing out scenic stops, history, and hidden gems as you drive.
-
Join our [Epic Tours stargazing experience] on the slopes of Mauna Kea. Explore the night sky with a professional astronomer, powerful telescopes, and complimentary star photos, all at comfortable mountain elevations.
-
Spend the day at [Mauna Kea Beach] swimming and snorkeling. In the evening, enjoy a west-side sunset dinner and optional manta ray viewing before heading back up to the cool Kaloko nights.
-
Slow things down and explore nearby. Start next door at [Kona Cloud Forest Sanctuary] for forest and wellness experiences, then head up the road to [Mountain Thunder Coffee Plantation] for a free tour and Kona coffee samples.
-
Waterfalls, volcanoes, green sand beaches, or Pololū Valley. With a Jeep and the Shaka Guide, you can stay flexible and follow the weather and your energy.
-
Enjoy one last quiet jungle morning, pack up, and make the easy drive to the airport.
