On the Big Island, you’ll find diverse rainforest ecosystems, tumbling waterfalls, and a warm culture that embodies an authentic and heartfelt Aloha Spirit. The Kohala Coast, also referred to as the Gold Coast because of year round sunshine, is located on the west coast of the Big Island, north of the Kona Coast. Here you’ll find Hawaii’s golf mecca with world-class courses carved out of ancient lava flows nestled among historical Hawaiian landmarks and fronting some of the most beautiful coastline of the Pacific.
Waimea is home to Parker Ranch where fluorescent green pastures give way to lush valleys and a host of vibrant natural greens. Take a hike into spectacular valleys (Waipio Valley and Pololu Valley are a hiker’s paradise) and to hidden waterfalls. Explore the Pacific waters with tropical fish and turtles, go deep sea fishing, scuba diving, or boogie boarding. Visit the world’s most famous observatories on majestic Mauna Kea (13,796 ft.) for incredible scenery and star gazing. Watch for manta rays at night, delight in a helicopter flight over an active volcano, or go on a sunset cruise.
Walk to ancient fish ponds, sacred Hawaiian sites, heiaus, and petroglyphs on the Big Island. Puukohola Heiau, built by King Kamehameha in Kawaihae next to Spencer Beach Park, is worth a visit to learn and experience Hawaiian history. Flume the historic Kohala Sugar Plantation irrigation ditch by kayak on a unique ecotour. Last but not least, the Kohala Coast shoreline offers plenty of opportunities for sunbathing, swimming, and boating.

Choose to play 36 holes of championship golf at the Francis H. I'i Brown golf course, home of the Senior Skins Game for a decade. The Fairmont Orchid has four highly acclaimed restaurants, including a deli and a Japanese restaurant.
