Head to the Hilo Farmers Market for fresh fruit to snack on at the beach.
Don't you want to know where your morning addiction comes from?
Beaches and more beaches!
For fresh poke, the local specialty.
The highest peak in the state of Hawaii at 13,796 ft. Make sure to take in a sunset from the peak – but pack layers, it gets cold up there!
A stunning tropical valley that drops down 800 vertical feet to beautiful black sand beaches.
For delicious Japanese food.
I would stay at Mauna Lani Bay Hotel & Bungalows in Kona, or Ala Kai Bed & Breakfast in Hilo.
