[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]First poster here-

We are staying at condos in Waikoloa that have access to the main Hilton resort.  I was planning on spending a half day or so down at their pools and lagoon, and some time on A Bay beach.

For Volcano NP, we are staying in the cabins.  I booked us a dinner at the restaurant in Volcano.

And, I did reserve the manta snorkel with the company recommended, Anelakai Adventures.

Did you visit any coffee farms?  I would like to but I’m not sure it will hold the kids attention.

I am trying not to book much else and just go with the flow, but research different options of things to do and we can decide day of what we are in the mood for.  [/quote]

We've been multiple times to Big Island with kids. One of our favorite day trips from Kohala area is the loop drive around the coast to Hawi (birthplace of Kamehameha I- there is a replica statue of him there) onward to Palolu overlook and hike to black sand beach, and then finish with an afternoon horseback ride at either Paniolo adventures or Na'alapa stables.

Kawaihae has good shave ice and a couple of worthwhile restaurants. Same with Hawi.

Spencer Park has Pu'ukohala heiau with a little museum.

Puako Petroglyphs near the Fairmont. Also near there is Holoholokai Beach which is rocky but good tide pools and a coastal trail.

Lava Lava at Waikoloa is good and right on the beach.
