The Kohala Coast is a place of strong contrasts. From the tiny town of Hawi, birthplace of Kamehameha the Great in the North, to Waikoloa Resort and Hualalai Resort in the South. Driving along the coastline, sheer cliffs to seaward and rolling hills to landward, one passes ancient temples of the Hawaiian Religion, (Heiau) restored to their pre-monarchy states.

Further on, the bright green of World Class Golf Courses abuts the barren lava flows, and palm trees stand between black rock and white sand beaches. Like islands in a sea of lava, the pale shapes of architect-designed condominiums and exclusive resorts rise from the broad wastes.

As you near the Waikoloa Resort, you see the broad throughfare lined with statuesque palms, leading toward the sea, and like a kingdom unto itself, you will find everything necessary for your comfort and enjoyment here, from shopping to beaches and pools, galleries and fine restaurants. Whether you are staying in a Hotel, a timeshare, or own your own condominium in Waikoloa Resort, everything you will need is supplied in abundance.

Kohala's selection of fine hotels offers a great variety of atmospheres, for dining and dancing, or if you want to "get away from it all" just relaxing and enjoying the sunny beach.

Each day in Kohala is one of new discoveries and excitement. Play a round of golf, go kayaking and sailboarding, try swimming with the dolphins, or take a snorkeling and scubadiving adventure. Learn to Hula, or weave Hawaiian mats...above all, take your time, for here you have all the time in the world!

In the evening, enjoy the International Cuisines of the many fine restaurants at Waikoloa Resort, where world-class chefs prepare delicious repasts that will leave your tastebuds tingling with pleasure!

After dinner, take a quiet stroll through the King's Shops, to visit Art Galleries and exclusive stores, or an equally quiet and peaceful walk in the moonlight, barefoot along sands white as powdered sugar before turning in for a restful night's sleep.
