Hawaii Adventure Package

8-Day Vacation Package to the Adventure Island of Hawaii

Explore the Big Island of Hawaii and stay in three different locations to capture the feeling of this beautiful island all with a local guide to ensure you have the time of your life!

After you win this auction item, you will connect with Julie Ziemelis, blogger for “365 Kona.com” and “365 Things to Do in Kona” who will help you book the three places you will stay along with three days rental of a luxury Jeep. She will also help you plan your itinerary with a 4WD adventure tour to a secluded beach, and tie in all the elements of this amazing package together!

Lodging:
Three nights at a private “Pool Hale” cottage in North Kona, only 7 minutes from the airport. Beautifully appointed and designed by a luxury builder with check in wine and snacks. Close to Kohala Coast world-class beaches and 15 minutes to Kailua Kona for waterfront shopping and dining.

Three nights at a one bed/one bath single story condo in Keauhou Resort with two pools and walk to ocean, water sports and golf. Large ocean view lanai and tropical floor plan. 6 miles south of Kona near the Kona coffee belt and some of the best snorkeling in Hawaii.

Two nights at a unique and authentic tree house in the Volcano rainforest located only one mile from the entrance of Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. The treehouse has all the amenities of a vacation condo, with an outdoor shower and two decks to enjoy drinks and coffee while enjoying primordial ferns and orchids. Explore and hike the national park and learn about the recent lava eruption, stroll through the artists colony at Volcano Village and discover waterfalls in Hilo. Come home to luxuriate in a private hot tub high above the Ohia forest.

Transportation:
Big Island Jeep Rental is offering a three day rental of one of their luxury Jeeps fully stocked with beach gear and ready to meet you at the airport. These Jeeps can go places on the island that regular rental Jeeps can not! Drive up to the top of Mauna Kea and see the observatories and watch sunset at 13,900 feet. Discover the Green Sand beach at South Point or Kahakai Beach near Kona accessed by driving through a lava field on a dirt road! Adventure awaits!

Secluded White Sand Beach Adventure
Speaking of adventure, ready to take a private 4WD tour with an experienced tour guide to one of the best white sand beaches on the island? We will hike in beach chairs and a “locals favorite” sunset picnic dinner with a cooler for your “Chillin in Hawaii” evening. We can even capture the moment with expert photography!

Jazz, Dance and Drink Near Kailua Bay
Dance, drink and eat at a VIP ocean view table at Gertrude’s Jazz Bar in downtown Kona across from Kailua Bay with a $75 gift certificate. We will provide the schedule of events so you can catch live jazz, dance classes, paint n sip, or a dance party!

Feet In the Sand, Sunset with Tropical Drinks at Sunset
Get your toes in the sand on the Kohala Coast and watch the sunset at the famous Lava Lava Beach Club! You will receive a $100 gift card to have drinks and dinner while enjoying live Hawaiian entertainment. This is one of the most popular restaurants on the island!

Hawaiian Lomi Lomi Massage
Along with adventure, dining and entertainment is also time for relaxing and we got you covered with a 45 minute authentic Hawaiian lomi lomi healing massage by Hawaiian kumu Illona Honig, a massage therapist. Enjoy a private session with essential and tropical oils.

Expert Advice and Travel Itinerary Planning
Included with all of these wonderful experiences, you will be given suggestions and advice on exploring, enjoying, and relaxing for 8 days on an island that is still pristine and uncrowded.
