Tourist Guide

No trip to Kona on the Big Island of Hawaii is complete without getting all hopped up on caffeine. The drive up the mountains to get to these coffee plantations are a little steep and challenging, but well worth it for the views #lifeatexpedia

Coffee’s pretty much a must when visiting Big Island. The trek up the mountains of #Kona is a bit scary, but well worth it #LifeAtExpedia
This playground felt like something you'd find at Legoland or Disneyland. But no, this was a delightfully free place to stop alongside the highway in Hawaii! The highlight was the slide that took the kids through two and a half full turns in complete darkness. Good stuff!

We really enjoyed our stay. The staff is amazing. Aunt Pua at the Voyager 47 Club is the sweetest hostess ever. Great views of the ocean and bay. We did have an issue with no hot water and they resolved the issue promptly. We’ll be staying here again. Thank you for all great service and memories
