Once you have your ideas of things to do near us, you'll find there may be time for longer drives to Hilo and Kailua-Kona.
Of course, many guests over the years have also built in a day or two for in-house massage, classes at the inn, and napping on the lanai.
Sometimes guests that are only staying with us during their visit to the island may choose an around the island drive.
This is home to many turtles.
There is an underground fresh water spring, a brackish pond by the boat launch, and a lifeguard on duty part time.

Kilauea 'Iki is an amazing four mile loop that takes you down one side of the crater, across it's steaming floor, and up the other side of the crater.
The Kahuku Unit of Hawaii Volcanoes National Park is open on Saturdays and Sundays from 9 a.m. until 3 p.m.
It offers both a short hike to the top of the pictured cinder cone and a longer hike to an ancient pit crater with a native forest on its floor.

This old cane road is a great drive which starts with a stop at the Punalu'u Bakery for a Lilikoi Malasada.
There's a blind spot in the road about a half mile in, a few bumps, and some potholes, so take it slow.
Catch it on a good day and enjoy the mountain vistas, the green pastures, and an occasional coastal view.
It's a meandering drive that lands you just above Pahala, where you can cut over to the road out to the Ka'u Coffee Mill and the Buddhist Temple in Wood Valley.
Once you are back in Pahala, you can make your way to the highway and head back towards Na'alehu.

When staying with us at Kalaekilohana Inn & Retreat, you may want to incorporate some of these "dining out" spots as you travel around the island.
When you are at the Volcano, we highly recommend Thai Thai in Volcano Village.
Take an early dinner before the crowds arrive and then head back to the park to see the glow from the lava lake.
When you are at Pu'uhonua National Historic Park, we recommend a very local experience at Manago Hotel in Captain Cook.
Popular with locals for decades.
Grabbing a great sandwich at Coffee Grinds in Ocean view on your way up to the park is ideal.
