Don the beachcomber's, of course. The Royal Kona Resort that houses it is a great example of classic Tiki. hang there in the Mai Tai bar and watch the sunset...awesome.

Place of refuge of Course.

Volcano National Park.
Hike out to the lava flow if it's within reasonable hiking distance.
Hike down into Kilauea Crater too...awesome.

Black Sand beach in Punalu'u.

Akaka Falls

Hapuna Beach in North Kona...Amazing Beach

Eat at Huggos (the bar section) with your toes in the sand. Very relaxing.

Hike down to Onomea Bay just north of Hilo

Waipio Valley. Take the hike if you're up for it. Otherwise there are Vans that can take you down. I've never been down thhere, but I hear it's amazing at the bottom.

There's more...I'll add more later.

Best thing to do is get "The Big Island Revealed" book.
