Experiences such as living like a local, eating fresh fruits and vegetables, dining at farm to fork eateries, visiting internationally recognized sites and seeing native flora and fauna will enthrall travelers. Green travel seems to renew spirits and Big Island guests would likely agree. Hawaii Volcanoes National Park is not only one of the most revered island sites among Hawaiians, but it is recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage and World Biosphere Site (for its history and natural diversity). Trails for all skill levels, captivating scenery and much flora and fauna dot the textured landscapes of the park. Your excursion to explore the lava and lore is important; the nature trails near your vacation rental are likely also worth exploration, whether they lead to the beach or nearby site. Notice the native birds and spend as much time looking up as you do looking ahead or down.
Farms, herb gardens and farmers’ market feed Big Island’s local eateries with both good food and drink so dig into pan Asian cuisine made with ingredients from the island’s land and sea. Tour the coffee farms, visit the markets and talk with local farmers about their farming philosophies and what sustainable, local and green mean to them. Meat, seafood, fruits, herbs, vegetables and coffee are all available for you to create your own local dining experience in the gourmet kitchen of your vacation rental or indulge in a green dining experience with an acclaimed island chef.
Staying in one of our Waikola condos allows you to create your own local dining experience in the gourmet kitchen.
