Q + A

LODGING

While looking for lodging, we highly recommend exploring options on Airbnb, Vrbo, etc., but there are also many hotels &amp; resorts scattered along the coastline of Kona. The venue itself is located in Kailua-Kona. However, everything in Kona is relatively close in proximity. Local tip: your best bet is to stay somewhere in Kona no further south than Honalo/Keauhou area.

ACCOMMODATIONS:

For those who would rather opt for hotel accommodations, we've listed some here that are centrally located &amp; wonderful options. You truly can't go wrong with anywhere in Kona for your stay! For our guests who don't mind splurging a bit, Waikoloa is 45 minutes north of downtown Kailua-Kona &amp; offers a wide variety of fine hotels &amp; beaches, as well.

Situated right on the water, this hotel is a 15-minute drive to the venue &amp; only minutes from downtown.

Aston Kona by the Sea

This resort offers great oceanfront options &amp; some of the lowest rates you'll find in Kona! Not to mention, it's a mere 10-minute drive from the venue.

Castle Kona Bali Kai

This resort, which is also a 15-minute drive from the venue, has "bungalow" options that comfortably house 6 guests. It's just south of town &amp; a great option for those with a larger party.

Club Wyndham Kona Hawaiian Resort

This location is in the heart of downtown Kailua-Kona &amp; a short 15-minute drive to the venue.

Courtyard by Marriott King Kamehameha's Kona Beach Hotel

Although located south of the venue &amp;, therefore, further from town, this resort is only a 15-minute drive to the venue &amp; offers reasonable rates with beautiful surroundings.

Travel

Beaches

Makalawena Beach

A rather remote beach that won't be crowded with other tourists like yourself ;) Palm trees lining the shores &amp; sand dunes surrounding the area make it a serene destination.

Hapuna Beach

Arguably one of the finest white sand beaches in America with its crystal-clear water and pristine swimming conditions. There's even a hiking trial you can tackle before deciding to take a dip.

Mauna Kea Beach

Nearby many resorts and hotels. A rather popular destination &amp; for good reason - white sand and clear blue waters make it ideal conditions for snorkeling and scuba diving.

FOOD & DRINK

Kaya's Coffee

A fav stop of ours. A variety of coffee selections &amp; quite the selection of savory &amp; sweet treats. It's nearly impossible to walk out without snagging one. Oh, &amp; did we mention- ORGANIC?!

Reel Aloha

This is your poke bowl stop. No questions. The freshest catch served up daily! YUMMM

Kona Inn Restaurant

Kolten &amp; Andrea's go-to for MAI TAIs!

On the Rocks

Relaxed waterfront dining. Low-key, happy hour, drinks, &amp; pupus.

Scandinavian Shave Ice

Located in the heart of downtown - Kolten's fav!

Gypsea Gelato

Andrea's fav! There's a location in town &amp; one further south.

Ola Brewing

Our go-to for local brews - selections of lagers, blondes, IPAs, seltzers, &amp; spiked teas with tasty food offerings, as well.

Basik Acai

Did you even come to Hawaii if you didn't consume a bowl...

Broke Da Mouth Grindz

A great lunch spot downtown serving up some of the best local cuisine you'll find.

Arise Kona Bakery & Cafe

Cute &amp; quaint coffee shop downtown with a great vibe and delectable sips and grub.

The Coffee Shack

The name is a bit misleading in that this spot has an expansive brunch menu that offers up ocean view dining. It's worth the wait at the door.

Hikes

Akaka Falls

This is a great waterfall hike with various vista points to view the falls! A short but scenic hike to venture out on.

Pololu Valley

It doesn't get more scenic than this. There are multiple options to view the valley. This is a 1-mile out-and-back trail that leads to a most majestic destination.

South Point

If you're wanting an adrenaline rush and don't mind the 1.5hr hike in the car, this cliff-jumping spot gets its name from being the southernmost point of the United States. Thrilling to say the least!

Kilauea Trail

Located within Volcanoes National Park, keep in mind there is a fee to enter. However, it's quite other-worldly to be walking across a solid lava lake, often witnessing steam venting into the air- a gentle reminder you're on a volcano. #priceless

Captain Cook Monument

A 3.7-mile adventure- you'll hike through grasslands, pass ocean vistas, and make your way down to a secluded bay with some of the best snorkeling on the Big Island.

Things to Do

Registry

The ceremony and after-party will both take place on the Kona Coffee and Tea Farm itself. The venue address will take you to the bottom of the road that leads up to the property.&nbsp;Be on the lookout because this entrance can sneak up on you! You can expect a 5-minute winding drive up to the venue from there. We'll also have signs along the way :) We recommend car-pooling, but there is a large parking area at the venue.

Despite being on a volcano, consider bringing an extra layer in case it gets a little chilly in the evening :)

For the ladies- there will be wooden slats and grass that you will be walking and dancing on. Of course, barefoot on the dance floor is always an option, but we wanted you to be able to plan your footwear accordingly :)
