WAIKOLOA BEACH RESORT

In addition to the 62 acre Hilton property, air conditioned trams transport guests around the many attractions of the Waikoloa Beach Resort including:

Kings' Shops - A  long time favorite shopping experience, featuring famous name designer shops like Tommy Bahama, Tiffany& Co., Louis Vuitton, Coach, Baron & Leeds and  L’Occitane. Kings’ Shops offers worlds of ways to wander and wonder at beautiful works of art, fine jewelry, resort wear and much more. Pick up essentials at Whaler’s General Store, get re-charged at Starbucks or sit down for a leisurely meal at Merriman’s Market Café, Roy’s Waikoloa Bar & Grill or Island Fish & Chips. An exhibition of bronze plaques telling the story of Hawaii’s Kings, hula performances, Hawaiian music and jazz add to the fun and complete the experience.

 Queens' MarketPlace - A fun family life style resort destination shopping experience with something for everyone, visitors and residents alike, Queens’ MarketPlace presents an exciting collection of boutiques, galleries, shops and services, plus a delightfully diverse Ono Food Court, upscale restaurants and a full schedule of free Hawaiian cultural activities and entertainment. Meet at the Clock, marvel at the meandering water features and fountains, and learn about Hawaii’s Queens from
bronze plaques in the rotunda. Then, explore stores like Giggles, Blue Ginger Family, Reyn’s, Local Motion, Persimmon and Sunglass Hut, stop at Starbucks or
take a break at the King & Queen Salon & Day Spa or browse the food and wine emporium with everything to suite your tastes, from gourmet to
local-style“grinds.”

Ala Kahakai - An ancient pathway runs along the coastline behind Waikoloa Beach Resort a segment  of the “Ala Kahakai” (“trail by the sea”) that links communities, temples, fishing areas and other important locations on the western coast of the Big Island. The 175-mile Ala Kahakai is only part of a much larger trail system
Hawaiians called _ala hele_ (walking paths) and _ala loa_ (long trail). Also called the “King’s Trail,” Ala Kahakai is accessible at several places along the
shoreline of Anaehoomalu Bay. *Please refrain from walking on adjoining historic sites and do not remove any rocks from walls or other features. The Ala Kahakai
is a national historic trail. Damage to the trail or any archaeological sites along the trail is subject to penalties.*

Petroglyphs - Waikoloa Beach Resort contains some of the best examples of the petroglyphs, stone carvings, in the state. Possibly the closest thing to a written language that Hawaiians used, some petroglyphs are thought to be astronomical symbols, travel markers or commemorations of historic events. A marked petroglyph trail is located near the mauka entrance to Kings’ Shops and complimentary guided tours are provided Thursday-Sunday at 10:30am. *Please stay on the trail and do not approach the petroglyphs for photos or rubbings. These are fragile carvings, possibly thousands of years old and are easily subject to damage and erosion.* The best way to capture a petroglyph is with a photo in the late afternoon, when the shadows are long.

The Anchialine Ponds - preserved in 1985 as the Waikoloa Anchialine Pond Preservation Area (WAPPA), and maintained by the University of Hawai‘i. These shallow salt or brackish water lava pools located near the coast are fed by freshwater springs as well as the ocean through fissures in the lava, the perfect home for various small fishes, crustaceans, mollusks and the opae’ula, tiny red shrimps that look like (and are sometimes called) “micro-lobsters.” A well marked trail off Naupaka Kai Place between the Kolea complex and Hilton Waikoloa Village takes you on an easy hike around a portion of the anchialine pond area. 
 
Ku’uali’i and Kahapapa Fishponds - Anaeho’omalu can be translated “protected mullet,” and at its peak, Anaeho’omalu was best known for its thriving aquaculture. Two existing ponds Ku’uali’i and Kahapapa, were part of a large complex of fish farms, carefully tended by ohana (family groups) who passed down the practices for many generations. Seasonal fishing of various species helped manage the population. Some fish were good to eat, some traded, some used for bait, many given to the alii (royalty). The story is told of swift-footed runners along the old Ala Kahakai trail, delivering fresh fish from Anaeho’omalu to King Kamehameha when he was in residence in Kailua Kona. 
 
Waikoloa Bowl at Queens’ Gardens - Lush tropical landscaping with sloped grass as seating is the best description of this outdoor entertainment venue. Developed for the guests of Waikoloa Beach Resort, this oasis amidst the lava will host local halau hula performances, premier films and other stage productions, under Hawaii’s starry skies. Conveniently located near Queens’ MarketPlace, with an inter-resort shuttle and plenty of free parking and lots of room to lounge on the wide green lawns, Queens’Gardens is the perfect place to enjoy your favorite entertainment.
