From updated COVID-19 guidelines, to major facility improvements at one of our most popular resorts, and of course our amazingly low shoulder season rates for Kona Hawaii accommodations are available now. For these reasons and more, this Spring is the ideal time to stay with us at Casago Kona.


COVID-19 BOOSTER SHOTS NOT REQUIRED FOR TRAVEL TO HAWAII

kona hawaii covid guidelines

For those considering booking Kona Hawaii accommodations this spring it is great to know that the Governor of Hawaii announced earlier this month that domestic travelers will not be required to provide proof of COVID-19 booster shots. Individuals who have received their primary COVID-19 vaccination series at least 14 days prior to arrival to the island will be exempt from the mandatory five-day quarantine. Additionally, those who provide an acceptable negative pre-travel test will also continue to be exempt.

While booster shots are not required to travel, visitor are still encouraged to stay up-to-date on their COVID-19 vaccines. It is also recommended that visitors continue to wear their masks, and travel responsibly throughout the island. Hawaii Tourism Authority’s president and SEO John De Fries went on to add that “Many of Hawaii’s businesses and visitor industry partners continue to work diligently to get their employees vaccinated and boosted to ensure that we can continue to keep Hawaii safe and to be effective hosts to our visitors. We appreciate everyone taking personal responsibility to mālama (care for) ourselves and one another.”

Hawaii’s Safe Travels program applies to all individuals traveling from the U.S. mainland and its Territories to the Hawaiian Islands. Travelers are considered up to date on the 14th day for vaccines that require two shots or for vaccines that require only one shot.

Travels must upload their vaccination records to the Safe Travels website at https://travel.hawaii.gov/ prior to departure. Travelers arriving without proof of vaccination or acceptable negative pre-travel test result will be subject to a mandatory five-day quarantine. This does not apply to passengers arriving directly from an international destination. Federal requirements for entry into the United States remain in place.

For more information about the State of Hawaii’s Safe Travels program and what you need to know before boarding your flight, visit www.hawaiicovid19.com/travel.

It may be hard to pick a favorite time of year to come to Kona with so much that the Big Island has to offer year round. Many do however consider Spring to be one of the best overall times of year to visit however. Great weather and good rates. Casago Kona has you covered Spring 2022.


Big Island Shave Ice

Shaved ice or Hawaiian shave ice is an ice-based dessert made by shaving a block of ice and flavoring it with syrup and other sweet ingredients. Hawaiian shave ice is so fine that flavorings are absorbed into the ice rather than settling to the bottom of the cup as with a snow cone. Think of it as a gourmet snow cone with tantalizing tropical flavors. Hawaii’s shave Ice tradition was brought to the island in the early 1900s by Japanese immigrants and has since become the iconic frozen treat of the islands. When you need a shave ice fix Kona has definitely got you covered. We have compiled a list here of some of our favorite Big Island Shave Ice spots….


One Aloha Shave Ice Co.

Big Island Shave Ice

Voted “Best in the West” several years in a row, One Aloha Shave Ice Co. is serving up some of the most amazing flavor profiles in the heart of Kailua-Kona. Featuring freshly made syrups, made from real fruit and nothing artificial, you can taste the realness! One Aloha offers many organic flavor options as well. Be sure to try the local fave Li Hing Mui…a sweet and salty plum flavor you will never forget. The “Island Splash” is also a must have combination consisting of  tangy Tangerine, Tahitian Lime, and Lilikoi (passion fruit).


Gecko Girlz

Big Island Shave Ice

Get your brain freeze on with the Gecko Girlz, one of the best Big Island shave ice spots. Sample some of the delectable artisanal creations, 100% Made in Hawaii only using pure cane sugar, never corn syrup. We are personally in love with the “Island Breeze” which consists of Mango, Coconut and Guava…but you really can’t go wrong with any of their Hawaiian Style combos to be honest. You can even build your own shave ice if you feel like getting creative yourself. Open daily from 12pm – 9pm at the Coconut Grove Marketplace in beautiful Kailua-Kona.


Farm To Table Lunch at Gingerhill Farms

Big Island Shave Ice

Scandinavian Shave Ice has been a Kona landmark since 1991. Located in the heart of Kailua Village just minutes away from Kailua Pier. “Scandi’s” is know by locals as “Da Best Shave Ice In Paradise”. They offer unique flavors such as Love in a Cup, Blue Hawaii, and Haupia (Hawaiian Coconut Pudding) as well as all of the classics. Try it served with ice cream or frozen yogurt in the middle, customer’s choice of three out of 65 flavors and then topped with a snow cap of sweetened condensed milk or coconut cream. This is probably the most unique treat you have ever had.


It may be hard to pick a favorite flavor combo because they’re all so good! One thing is for certain though…when on the Big Island you simply must cool off with one of these favorite Hawaiian frozen treats.

While the village of Kailua Kona itself has tons to see and do, venturing out to explore beyond is a must when visiting the Big Island of Hawaii. We put together a list of just a few of our favorite day trips from Kona that you will not want to miss. From some of the best beaches to dramatic island valley views, to quaint artist communities and farm day extravaganzas, these day trips from Kona will be sure to give you a different perspective of the Big Island.

Waimea, Honokaa, and Waipi’o Valley Lookout

Waipi'o Valley - Day trips from Kona

One of the most spectacular day trips from Kona is the drive up the northern Hamakua coast to the Waipio Valley Look Out. Get ready to adventure deep into Hawaiian country! This route takes you from Kona north to the little mountain town of Waimea which is right around 3,000 ft. in elevation. Begin the journey along the Hamakua Coast to Waimea. From Kona to Waimea takes about 45 minutes to an hour. This beautiful drive takes you through breathtaking open country with absolutely stunning views. There are plenty of spots to stop along the route for a bite to eat but for a special treat be sure to pay a visit to Mamane Street Bakery, one of the Big Island’s top bakeries.

Here we recommend the coastal route, but an alternative is the upper mountain road which gives you the opportunity to take in the stunning views of Mauna Kea, the Kohala Mountain Range, and the coastline. The best days for the road trip are Saturdays or Wednesdays when you can catch a farmers market in Waimea.

Next, take the scenic drive from Waimea to the Waipi’o Valley Lookout via Honokaa, which takes about 40 minutes. Along the way you’ll pass through gorgeous rolling pastures and from the lookout itself you can take in views of the lush valley floor covered in taro fields and long stretches of black sand beach. Take the optional hike down into Waipi’o Valley (a total length of this hike is ~6.5 miles) or go on a tour of a local chocolate farm in Honokaa. Along the main street of Honokaa you can also discover local boutiques, gift shops and some really great restaurants.


Holualoa Town

big island of hawaii, kona beaches, days trips from kona

If art and coffee are a few of your favorite things, this is one of the day trips from Kona you will not want to miss. Just south of Kailua-Kona, is the quaint artist community of Holualoa. In this picturesque village you will find many amazing art galleries as well as coffee shops as Holualoa is also located in the heart of Kona coffee country.

Meander through this charming town to discover shops filled with local art such as handcrafted woodwork, sculptures, paintings, and photography. Visit Holualoa in November for the annual Holualoa Village Coffee & Art Stroll.


Farm To Table Lunch at Gingerhill Farms

big island of hawaii, kona beaches, days trips from kona

Embark on a fun and educational, insider’s tour of a local organic farm. Set in Kealakekua, 9.9 mi from Kailua-Kona, is Gingerhill Farm Retreat. Experience the bounty in their magical tropical food forests, then, enjoy a farm-fesh lunch with breathtaking ocean views. A simultaneously restorative and educational alternative to conventional Hawaiian resorts, Gingerhill is not just a property, but also an experience.

Gingerhill Farm retreat is one of many Big Island farms located on Hawaii’s sunny west side. It resides in the lush farm country that lies between Kona town and the calm beauty of Captain Cook’s beaches and trails. This region is called Kona’s “Greenbelt.”


The Best Beaches

Here you will find plenty of parking, food vendors and picnic areas. Enjoy sunbathing, snorkeling and bodyboarding at this ideal spot for families wanting to enjoy a day of surf and sun.

Ho’okena Beach Park lies 40-45 minutes south of Kona and sits adjacent to the ruins of Ho’okena Village. Enjoy beautiful views of the open ocean, enjoy a picnic or to simply relax on the soft sand. At the north end of the beach you can rent kayaks, boogie boards and snorkel gear. There are also small stands for snacks right on the beach. Ho’okena is the perfect place to spend a few hours or an entire day.


Kona is the perfect launching point to explore the Big Island of Hawaii. With so many amazing day trips from Kona available you can get a true taste of all the island has to offer.

The easily accessed Kamakahonu (King Kam) Beach is perfect for an early morning or late afternoon plunge. At Magic Sands Beach Park the waves are also well-suited for snorkeling. The famous Kona Manta Ray Night Dive is not to be missed. This is one of the most memorable dives in the planet.

The Big Island is known as the best island for fishing in Hawaii, with Kailua-Kona being the main sportfishing hotspot. It has the largest charter fleet and the most legendary fishing grounds making it the ultimate angling location.

This 180-acre park was once known as a place of refuge for individuals who broke the ancient Hawaiian laws.

If youʻve heard about the recent car rental shortages and high prices, but still want to get away to Big Island, consider visiting Kona without four wheels….

One of the things we love most about Hale Kona Kai is its easy access to shops, restaurants and cultural activities. We are located directly on the Kailua-Kona coast, at the southern edge of Kona town. Our guests often ride the elevator down from our top-floor unit to take a quick stroll on Kahakai Road before options like fine dining at Huggoʻs or drinks and pupus at On the Rocks appear.

The lively Kona scene also caters to active folks who head down to the townʻs old pier for snorkeling or whale-watching excursions. King Kam beach offers a lovely, safe swimming area for adults and keiki (children), and history-lovers can also check out the Hulihee Palace and while in the area.

For fantastic entertainment, the Royal Kona (our next-door-neighbor) puts on the “Voyagers of the Pacific” luau multiple times during the week and tons of art galleries, clothing and jewelry stores in the area beckon at various price ranges. If you want to support one of HKKʻs own residents, you can even stop by Kona Gear to pick up some casual clothes and “slippahs” (sandals) for your day at the beach. Bike rentals are another non-motorized option for local exploration, and the Hele-On bus service is back in action for destinations further afield, and ride-sharing is back with the re-opening!

Hawai’i Begins Its Vaccine Passport Program

June 4, 2021 Update on Hawai’i’s Vaccine Passport Rollout

Currently, travelers who have been vaccinated within Hawaii, are now able to travel inter-island without being subject to quarantine and testing rules.

Starting on May 11, 2021 fully vaccinated inter-island travelers will be able to skip the state’s mandatory quarantine and COVID-19 pre-travel testing procedures.

What is a Vaccine Passport?

The Hawaii Safe Travel program will soon allow vaccinated inter-island travelers to upload an image of their vaccination card to the Safe Travels Portal. In doing so, travelers will be given the ability to bypass the current COVID testing travel rules. It is estimated that by mid to late June this option will also be made available to travelers coming in from the mainland.

Travelers wanting to participate in the vaccination passport program will be required to have completed vaccination at least 14-days prior to visiting Hawaii.

Will I Need a Need a Vaccine Passport?

According to Hawaii officials, the vaccine passports will only be an option and not a requirement to travel to the Hawaii. The current travel rules are likely to remain in effect for travelers who choose not to be vaccinated.

For both visitors and residents, the current Safe Travel rules do require a negative COVID-19 test result BEFORE beginning the final leg of one’s trip to the State of Hawai’i. The negative test result must be uploaded onto the Safe Travels Portal within 72 hours of departure or printed out prior to departure in order to have a hard copy in hand when arriving to Hawai‘i. Anyone without a negative test result PRIOR to departure must quarantine upon arrival.

Book With Peace of Mind

The State of Hawai‘i Safe Travels program is a multilayered approach designed to mitigate the spread of COVID-19 from both trans-Pacific visitors and resident passengers arriving at airports/ports across the island. With the new vaccine passport program under way, many believe it will be easier at the airport to separate, check and verify people who have and have not received the vaccine.

We encourage you to visit the Hawaii Tourism Authority website to learn more about pre-travel COVID-19 rules and the new vaccine passport program.

Book Now For Summer Months & Save

The vaccine passport program is arriving just in time! July through August officially marks the slower season here on the Big Island. Many Casago Kona properties are specially priced during this time of year. Take advantage of these savings and the less restrictive soon to be implemented travel protocols to make your Hawaiian dream vacation a reality!
