Visitors are never short of activities in Keauhou. Just south of the Historic Kailua Village, the Keauhou area has become one of Hawaii's most frequented destinations. The waters are perfect for snorkeling, scuba diving and kayaking. Enjoy a combination of golf courses, spas and fine resort restaurants on land. Spot manta rays at night as they meander near the shores to feed on microscopic plankton, and you may even see napping honu (Hawaiian green sea turtles) in the shallow tide pools as well.

The Royal Footsteps Along the Kona Coast Byway covers 700 years of history. The seven-mile stretch of road takes you through the centuries of Hawaii’s Alii, or the ruling class. You will be led past four of Kona's seven “Royal Centers,” which were the sacred locations chosen due to an abundance of natural resources and recreational value. These centers were reserved for the kings and queens of Hawaii. Count among them Hulihee Palace (one of three palaces in the United States), the royal surfing grounds of Kahaluu, Hawaii’s oldest Christian church and several heiau, or sites of sacred Hawaiian temples.

Kauai Museum's mission is to inspire and promote respect for the indigenous and immigrant people of Kauai and Niihau. Kauai Museum's exhibits include "The Story of Kauai," which includes the Juliet Rice Wichman Heritage, and an Oriental Art Gallery.

For a fun way to see Frankfurt, hop on the Ebbelwei-Express, a vintage tram that rattles through the city on weekends and public holidays. On board, passengers are served apple wine (or juice) and a bag of pretzels while local music plays in the background. The hour-long ride takes in many of Frankfurt’s main sights, and tickets are sold by the conductor. You can board at any of the tram stops along the route, but the ticket covers one full loop without hopping off and back on again.
