Activities in the Area
In addition to tide-pooling, snorkeling and sunbathing at the little beach across the street, there are many Kona activities with a 5 minute drive from Alii Hale, such as: golf; deep sea fishing; snorkeling; swimming; scuba diving; parasailing; bicycling; jogging; bowling; tennis; and other sports. There are also many fine restaurants, delightful shops, and stadium style cinemas. Alii Gardens Market Place, which is an upscale type of farmers' market, is approximately 2 blocks north on Alii Drive. It is fun to walk up the street and purchases fresh fruit for breakfast. It is amazing how much low cost entertainment is available to people who enjoy nature. For example, there is an excellent fish reserve beach approximately 3 miles to the south of Alii Hale. Even those who do not feel comfortable wading in deeper than their knees can see many colorful fish, and sometime, sea turtles. Bring your frozen peas! Approximately 2 miles to the south of Alii Hale is a good beach for experienced boogie boarders and body surfers. In the morning, walking to Kailua is a great way to start the day. The ocean views, chirping birds and warm Kona sun make this a memorable experience. In the Kona area there are good children's parks, historical sites, and hotel grounds to visit. The Waikoloa area, which hosts the luxury hotels, is only 3 miles north. Visiting these hotels, especially the Waikoloa Hilton, is free and definitely a site-seeing event. After dinner, the owners like to drive into Kailua, wall along the sea wall in the tropical breezes and have a shave ice. Sometimes, there is free entertainment at the Kona Village Inn Shopping Center. The free hula show at the Keauhou Shopping center on Friday night is fun. Another favorite is soaking in the Jacuzzi on the rooftop sundeck in the evening under the stars. Alii Hale guests rave about how much they like Alii Hale and its location!
