While you’re enjoying the Aloha and beauty of the resort, you’ll have the opportunity to be a part of a Hawaiian Cultural Huaka’i Tour that will bring you face-to-face, spirit-to-spirit with the Hawaiian Culture and the aina (land) that was, and remains, so precious to Hawaiians.

You’ll have the opportunity to learn a bit of the language, make a lei, learn some cords on a ukulele, and learn first-hand why the Hula is the “heart” of the Hawaiian people.

Right next door is Kahalu’u Beach Park, site of ancient Hawaiian’s aquaculture, where you’ll snorkel with gentle, protected Hawaiian turtles and abundant tropical fish of all sizes in distinguished bright colors.

Just five minutes away, by taking the open-air trolley that Keauhou Resort provides for a small fee, you can play golf or go to Keauhou Bay where you can enjoy diving with Manta Rays, or you can choose to drive yourself 40 minutes to Kealakekua Bay and rent a kayak, paddle a mile across the bay and snorkel by Captain Cook monument. Or parasail in Kona, or explore ocean caves with a guided tour; or go whale watching in season. There are so many activities available to make your vacation here an experience with memories that will last a lifetime.

And to end a perfect day in Paradise, attend a Luau with great Hawaiian food, Hula, Polynesian dances, and especially the Samoan Fire Sword Dance! Tickets can be arranged, along with many other activities at the Concierge Desk.

On the east side, the Hawaii-Style private cottage Hale ‘Ohana awaits you within a two acre tropical garden oasis; secluded, yet only fifteen minutes to shopping and restaurants. It has a full kitchen, dining room, large den, large bedroom with king bed, laundry room with washer/dryer, and a nice lanai to relax on.

The “Aloha Basket” is for you to enjoy. You can make farm fresh eggs, Hawaiian pancakes and sausage, Hawaiian teas and guava juice, Kona Coffee, and have fresh fruits for your breakfasts.

You’ll be presented with detailed “Adventures” to easily and efficiently experience the wonders of our island home.

Travel the Red Road lined with tropical trees and foliage. See breathtaking ocean cliffs, a new black sand beach forming from a recent lava flow, soak in hot ponds, snorkel in tide pools, watch daring surfers, and ride through a jungle where the Ali’i trekked to see their subjects hundreds of years ago.

Experience the majesty of Waipio Valley. Mingle with locals at the Sunday Aloha Market. And, of course, our resident Volcano is here to awe you! And then, there’s Mauna kea with an observation level where you can view through telescopes the same night sky the Hawaiians used to navigate to this land.
