Hawaii! Kona, Waikoloa, Polulu, and Hawi


On the beach one of our last nights. There were so many turtles on this beach it was unreal!

For Christmas my hubby and myself took 10 days in Hawaii to visit my parents. They recently moved to Waikoloa, Hawaii and we had not seen the new place yet! Anyways, it was a great trip! Got to work on my tan, eat some new foods, hike some awesome trails, and enjoy the heat! Here are some pictures of the trip!

Our friends Jadene and Tyler met us there for a few days and Jadene brought these to the beach one day. They are called Rumbatons and are soooo weird. A super hard koosh ball shell and a clear jelly ball with a huge seed inside. Super tasty though and fun to eat!

We took an awesome hike in the Polulu Valley. You start super high and hike 20 minutes down....

to a secluded black sand beach. The sand was like powder! Then you hike about 1 hour up the other side...

to another amazing view of beautiful sea cliffs. You can continue the hike to complete the 18 mile trail. Maybe next time. Ours was about 4 miles round trip, and the perfect amount for a day hike!

Some of the turtles from the first beach pictures. They are so chill, don't even open there eyes when you walk by.

  2. Those are lovely photos. The place seems very enticing and peaceful. It's one of the best places to unwind. I love beaches. In fact, we just came from a trip in Thailand. We stayed in one of the apartments in Pattaya. I can say that the overall experience was fun and unforgettable. I wish I could come and visit Hawaii. I'm petty sure that this place has a lot of beautiful spots, villas, and hotels to offer.

  3. I heard a lot of good reviews about Hawaii, most specifically Honolulu. I would love to visit this place and see what kind of holiday accommodation this place can offer. It must be a very great experience walking by the shore with that kind of great looking view.

  4. Those photos say it all. The place looks very great. Staying in that kind of spot must be very unforgettable. I've never been to any parts of Hawaii yet, but I am planning to do so before this year ends. For now, I am enjoying the cheap accommodation Broome here in Australia. I look forward to visiting that place soon.
