Enjoy the local flavors of Hawaii Island in a peaceful garden setting. Savor a shave ice as you shop locally-made products and crafts from over 30 vendors. Commemorate your visit to Kona by having a coconut postcard mailed to your home.

Hawaii is the birthplace of poke. Head to Da Poke Shack for a fish lunch that is always fresh. Build your own bowl or plate from your pick of poke like the sweet Shack Special or the spicy Pele’s Kiss. Ask about fresh-cut sashimi made to order.

After your brewery tour, stay for dinner at the brewery’s restaurant, the Kona Pub. Choose from a wide array of dishes like Uncle’s Fish Tacos, hand-tossed Captain Cook Pizza, and Bacon-Crusted Mac ‘N Cheese. Each dish pairs perfectly with a beer.

Start your second day with 100% Kona coffee from the “#1 Coffee House and Restaurant” in Kona. Enjoy a Lava Java Breakfast of fluffy pancakes and eggs with sausage and grab a famous “pull-apart” pastry to take on the way to your next stop.
