For guests staying in Kohala Coast or Waikoloa Resorts, on the sunny north east of the Big Island, this is home to beautiful Waikoloa, a heavenly oasis amidst black lava rock fields. This coast sports a number of historic attractions, like ancient petroglyph fields and temples, and with little rainfall it is perfect for any water adventure. Near the coast of North Kohala, the landscape becomes covered with rainforest canopies and pastoral lands that stretch to the horizon.
