Find Every Hawaii Activity Here

Ever wonder why Hawaii is simply called the "Big Island" by locals? At nearly twice the size of all other Hawaiian islands combined, the nickname is well deserved. And with its size, Hawaii is home to all but two of the world's climactic zones, making it the perfect spot to do just about any activity you can imagine. And Royal Kona Resort is perched in the best spot on the island - the prized seaside town of Kailua-Kona, putting you in the center of all the best activities in Hawaii. But even if you never leave the resort, you'll find plenty to do right here, too.

Enjoy our weekly "Legends of Hawaiian Music" concert, showcasing some of Hawaii's most talented, award-winning artists. Free and open to the public, the concert is held every Thursday from 5 to 7 p.m. at Don's Mai Tai Bar. Each week, prominent performers including Ledward Ka'apana, John Keawe, Henry Kapono, Brother Noland, and Johnny Valentine treat guests to memorable music. Happy hour from 4pm-6pm.
