It’s no secret: Hawaii is an ever-popular tourist destination. But one of the things I love about the Big Island is that it caters to locals as well as tourists, as demonstrated through frequent events to gather the community. Whether your idea of a good time is partying in the sun, appreciating local culture, or tuning your guitar, Hawaii’s got you covered this June. Here are some Big Island events you won’t want to miss.
Night Life: Kona Edition
The Island of Hawaii might not boast the kind of nightclub scene you’ll find in Honolulu. (Hey, some of us need early bedtimes to make the most of the Big Island’s outdoor adventures!) But that doesn’t mean we don’t know how to have a good time. When you’re itching for a little nightlife, check out some of my favorite spots in Kona.
Fancy Eating on the Big Island, Hawaii
We’ve made it to the end of January, which means you’re probably fed up with catering to your New Year’s Resolution diets. Whether you’ve tried Veganuary, Keto, or something strange you found on TikTok – doesn’t matter. It’s time to let somebody else do the cooking. Check out my tips on hiring a private chef in Hawaii.
Whale Watching on the Big Island
Humans aren’t the only mammals who enjoy heading south for the winter. Every year, the majestic North Pacific Humpback Whales migrate down from the icy waters of Alaska to the warm waters surrounding Hawaii. This migration spans from November to May, with peak sightings happening from January to March. Ready to sea for yourself? Check out my tips for whale watching on the Big Island.
