After my other thread on my favorite things about Hawaii, Kenny asked me about my favorite restaurants on the Big Island. I realized that I didn't have any recommendations for food. I think that's mostly due to the fact that when we are on the Big Island, we tend to eat at the condo. We will be heading to the Big Island, so I would like some input on restaurants and things to do so that I can check them out for everyone.
I am much more familiar with the activities on Big Island. Our favorites are:
1) Sunset and Star Gazing on Mauna Kea. You start off right before dusk, hike around the telescopes, watch the sun set. If you are lucky, you see the green flash. Then, you go back down to about 10000 feet and get an astronomy lesson on the constellations.
2) Scuba diving with the Mantas. You plant yourself in the rocks about 30 feet under water. The mantas come right near your head and you can see right into their mouthgs.
3) Blue Hawaiian helicopter tour of the Volcanos. It's best when the lava is flowing. Fun to see the glowing red and lava falling into the sea.
4) Hike the volcano at night. Fun seeing the glowing lava in the dark.
5) Coffee plantation tours and tasting. My favorite is Holualoa right near Kona town. I love their french roast coffee.
6) Macadamia Nut and Orchid tours. Fun to see how they make and grow these native Hawaiian products.
What are your can't miss activities and restaurants?
