Stay at any one of our beautiful Kona resorts:
When staying on the Big Island you will see everything from lunar-like landscapes (look out the window of your plane when you fly in), to lush tropical forests and gardens. In the volcano park you can be walking across a caldera one moment, and 15 minutes later, be in a jungle.
Book now and get great deals on wonderful Kona Vacation Rentals.
White Sands Beach may be small but it’s a great place to spend the day. Just bring a few drinks and your beach gear because there are plenty of great restaurants within walking distance. From any of our Big Island Resorts, just head North, you can’t miss it.
They also call it Magic Sands Beach because sometimes the sand gets pulled back into the ocean overnight. Don’t worry, it comes back.
Based in any of our Resorts in Kailua-Kona a great day trip is to head North around the island. Cruise through the Parker Ranch, up through Honaka’a, hit the waterfalls just out of Hilo, stop for lunch in Hilo, and finish out the day at the Volcano Park. It’s a big island but it’s not too big.
A classic Hawaii Beach, Kekaha Kai is a place to spend the whole day. Whether you’re staying at Kanaloa At Kona, Beach Villas, the Surf and Racquet Club, Kona Coast Resort, or Na Hale O Keauhou you can easily get to this beach and spend a glorious day living on the beach. And don’t forget to make the trek across an amazing lava flow to hidden beach, it’s worth the trip!
Do a search at Aloha Condos for luxury vacation rentals at a great price.

p.s. Make sure to be back out to the highway by the time the park closes. They *will* lock you into the park (not that it’s ever happened to me 
)
