E ʻike ʻoe i nā ʻauʻauʻau e hana ana i nā laps i loko o ka wai aniani o ke kai kūʻono ʻo Kaunaʻoa, kahi lagoon one-like me lalo o ke ʻano crescent. E kiʻi i kāu kaʻa a holo i ka papa Ironman ma ke alanui Queen Kaʻahumanu ma waho pono aku o nā ʻīpuka o ka hale hoʻokipa.

(E nānā i ke alakaʻi a ka poʻe hoʻomaka no ka holo ʻana i ka hoe.)

Noho ʻo Hapuna Beach Prince Hotel, ko Mauna Kea kaikuahine, ma luna o ka Hapuna Beach State Recreation Area, kahi e kiʻi ai i nā loiloi maikaʻi mai nā poʻe kahakai ma Foursquare ma ke ʻano he kahakai kūpono ʻelima ma ka U.S. a ʻo ia hoʻi ka mea kiʻekiʻe ma luna o nā papa inoa ʻo "Best Beach". ʻO ke kahakai one keʻokeʻo nui loa o Hawaiʻi, ʻo Hapuna ka mea kūpono no ka ʻauʻau ʻana, ka hoʻokele boogie, a me ka snorkeling. A i ʻole pā i nā loulou ma ka papa kolepa i hoʻolālā ʻia ʻo Arnold Palmer.

Makemake i ka ʻauʻau? Hoʻopau i ka loko wai he 14,100 kapuaʻi kuea i hoʻopili ʻia i nā pali pele kai.

Noho I Ke Kinohi

Pono nā 'âlapa e loa'a kahi ma ka heihei ho'okûkû, loa'a ke komo 'ana ma ka hailona, ​​a i 'ole e lanakila i ka bib ma kahi kudala aloha e ho'okûkû ai i ka Ironman World Championship. Akā he nui nā ala ʻē aʻe e heihei ai ma ka mokupuni ʻo Hawaiʻi. ʻO ka Ironman 70.3 Hawaiʻi ma Iune 4, 2016 ʻo ia wale nō ka Ironman World Championship ma ka mokuʻāina, me ka hoʻomaka a me ka hoʻopau ʻana ma ke kahakai ʻo Kohala.

Ma mua o kou kipa ʻana, e nānā iā Big Island Races, ka mea e hōʻike ana i nā ʻauʻau kai, paikikala, a me nā hanana holoʻokoʻa o ka mokupuni. ʻAʻole ma laila e heihei? Ke holo nei ke Kula ʻo Triathlon Hawaii i kahi moʻo o nā kahua hoʻomaʻamaʻa triathlon ma ka makahiki holoʻokoʻa.

Inā makemake ʻoe e hoʻomaʻamaʻa iā ʻoe iho, e lele i waho o Kailua Pier-ka hoʻomaka a me ka hoʻopau ʻana o ka papa Ironman World Championship-e ʻauʻau i nā wai o Kailua Bay, a i ʻole e hele i ka hapahā mile ka lōʻihi, ke ʻano o ka puʻukū ma kahakai ʻo Kaunaʻoa. , kahi e mālama ai kahi papa i ka heʻe nalu i kahi liʻiliʻi.

E ʻike ʻoe i ka hele wāwae he nui ma ka ʻaoʻao o nā kaʻa a me kēlā pōhaku pele ʻeleʻele. Mai ke kikowaena o Kailua-Kona, he 50 mau mile kou ala a hiki i ke kihi ʻākau o ka mokupuni ʻo Hawi.

E holo aku ma ka hao ʻo Aliʻi Drive-ʻehiku mile ka lōʻihi mai ka hoʻomaka a ka hoʻopau me nā māka ma kēlā me kēia mile ke hele ma waena o Kailua-Kona. E kakali i kekahi mau puʻu nui a me kekahi mau pālahalaha a me nā wahi nani nani. A i ʻole e hele i ke alanui Mana ma Waimea, e holo ana ma mua o 40 mau mile a puni ʻo Mauna Kea. E mākaukau no ke aniau kūpilikiʻi mai ka makani ikaika a i ka ua a i ka lā. Akā, kūpono nā manaʻo.

ʻAʻole e ʻike ʻia ka puʻu kaiāulu ʻo Hawaiʻi Volcanoes ma ka ʻaoʻao hema o ka mokupuni, me nā mile he 150 me nā lua pele ʻelua, ʻo Kilauea a me Mauna Loa.

(Ma aneʻi, he 10 mau keu National Parks Worth Hiking.)

Wahie kāu huakaʻi

ʻAʻohe huakaʻi i Kona i piha me ke kū ʻole ma Da Poke Shack a me Umeke's. Hāʻawi kēia mau helu helu kiʻekiʻe i ka poke hou loa, kahi kīʻaha Hawaiʻi kuʻuna o nā iʻa maka i hoʻopaʻa ʻia i loko o ka paʻakai, limu a me nā mea ʻala ʻē aʻe. Inā aloha ʻoe i ka sushi, hoʻohiki mākou e aloha ʻoe i ka poke.

E aloha ka poʻe Vegan ma lalo o ka Bhodi Tree, ʻo ia wale nō ka hale ʻaina i hoʻopaʻa ʻia ma ka mokuʻāina. ʻO ka hapa nui o nā mea ulu i ulu ma ka mokupuni ʻo Hawaiʻi, a hāʻawi ka hale ʻaina i kalapu holo a me ka holoholo alakaʻi ʻia e nā limahana me ka holo manuahi o kēlā me kēia pule a me nā piʻi i kēlā me kēia mahina.

Makemake i kēlā inu umbrella a mākou i ʻōlelo ai? E hoʻāʻo i ka puʻukani inoa o Mauna Kea Beach Hotel, ʻo Fredercio. ʻO ka rum māmā a me ka whiskey concoction pū kekahi i ka pineapple, ka hua ʻai, ka guava, a me ka wai ʻalani. No laila he mea maʻalahi ia.

Inā ʻoluʻolu hewa kou kokoleka, e kipa iā Big Island Candies ma Hilo no nā kokoleka nani a me nā berena pōkole. ʻO ia kahi kūpono loa e kiʻi ai i kekahi mau pahu makana no nā poʻe e lili e haʻalele ʻoe iā lākou ma ka home.

Makemake ʻoe e kūʻai? Kū i loko o ka Big Island Running Company, kahi ʻoihana ʻo Kailua-Kona me ka huaʻōlelo "Run Big." Mālama ka ʻoihana i ka holo o ka hui i kēlā me kēia pule a kūʻai aku i nā mea holo i nā wahi ʻelua. Ma kēia e loaʻa ai iā ʻoe kahi pālule "Holo Aloha" e hoʻomanaʻo ai iā ʻoe iā Hawaiʻi i kēlā me kēia holo.

E ʻike ai i ka mokupuni i kona hanohano a pau, e noʻonoʻo e kipa aku iā Mauna Kea, kahi e hiki ai i nā mea kipa ke piʻi a kaʻa paha i ka piko ma 13,796 kapuaʻi. ʻO ka mauna ka home o ka hale nānā nui loa o ka honua (a me ka hōʻiliʻili nui nui ʻana o nā teleskopa) no ka astronomy opua, infrared, a me submillimeter. Lawe ʻia ʻo Hawaii Forest & Trail's Mauna Kea Summit & Stars Adventure i nā malihini mai ka ʻilikai a i ka piko o ka mauna no ka napoʻo ʻana o ka lā, kahi ma waena o nā degere he 32 degere, a ukali ʻia e ka lani nui. E hoʻolako ʻo Hawaiʻi Forest & Trail i nā mea āpau āu e pono ai me kahi parked hooded, nā mīkina lima, a me ka ʻaina awakea wela me nā koko a me nā kuki mehana.

Inā pono ʻoe e hoʻomaha i kou mau wāwae mai ka holo nui ʻana, ka hele wāwae ʻana, a me ka paikikala ʻana, e hele i Kohala Zipline ma Kohala ʻĀkau no ka huakaʻi lewa ma luna o nā kumu lāʻau o Hawaiʻi.

A i ʻole snorkel me Kohala Sail & Sea i loko o ka wai o ko Hawaiʻi Pae ʻĀina Humpback Whale National Marine Sanctuary. ʻIke paha ʻoe i nā iʻa milo, nā kuhukukū, a me nā koholā humpback i ke kau hoʻoilo.

ʻOiaʻiʻo leʻaleʻa: Ua hoʻokumu ʻia ka papa boogie a hoʻāʻo ʻia ma Kailua-Kona i ka makahiki 1971. ʻO Laalao Beach ma kahi kokoke i ke kaona ʻo Kona, kaulana no ke one "kilokilo" e nalo ana i nā loli, ʻo ia kekahi o nā heʻe nalu ʻana o ke kino a me nā waʻa boogie e kau ana ma ka mokupuni. (Mākaukau e hele? E ʻike pehea e hoʻolālā ai i kāu olakino (a ʻoi loa!) Hoʻomaha loa.)
