Kapoho

Kapoho is a unique area on the easternmost tip of the island of Hawaii, also known as the Big Island. Kapoho sits on the edge of the majestic Puna rainforest in the "sunbelt of East Hawaii." The pacific microclimate provides some of the best weather on the island and experiences only one third of the rain that falls 30 miles north in Hilo.

Kapoho's great weather, warm water, volcanically heated tide pools and tropical vegetation are quintessentially Hawaiian. The warm, calm waters of Champagne Pond and it's satellite lagoons provide perfect swimming spot and are a favorite hang-out for families of green sea turtles. The awesome Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, an essential day trip for Big Island visitors, is less than an hour's drive.

We have black sand, blue water and the cleanest air on earth. But what sets us apart from most vacation spots in Hawaii is what we don't have: crowds of tourists and resort prices!

Waikoloa Village

Waikoloa Village is a gorgeous little resort community about 30 miles north of Kona on the Kohala Coast. At about 1000 ft above sea level, Waikoloa perches on the western slopes of Mauna Kea overlooking the Pacific Ocean and offers breathtaking views of neighboring Maui and West Hawaii's world famous sunsets.
