Kona Vacation Tips

Below are some tips of what to bring extra of on your Kona Vacation- oh, you can get everything on island but you’ll be having so much fun you probably won’t want to stop!A sense of adventure

You can do anything on the Island. Visit mantas, hike to a waterfall, explore a coffee ranch, spend your days on the beach or learn to make the perfect margarita and enjoy sunset on sunset (and sunrise) on the lanai!

Sunscreen

Obviously sunscreen is a pretty easy find on the island but we at Kona Rentals take skincare very seriously so if you have a favorite stock up and make sure you’re wearing it!

Hats & Head Covers

This goes along with the sunscreen obviously.

Extra Shoes

Kona provides so many fun opportunities for adventure your trip can be whatever you make it out to be. Flip-flops, shoes for hiking, shoes for going out. The last thing you want is sore feet!

Back-up Chargers/ Memory Cards

Again this is something you can easily find on the island but I’ve always found it’s best to have an extra or two in my travel bag. After all you don’t want to be watching the sun come up and see a whale only to miss the perfect shot because your battery is dead?

The Aloha Spirit

Actually we provide all you need on the island! 🙂
