As any coffee fan knows, Kona coffee is one of the finest brews in the world.
 You might be asking yourself, “Coffee from Hawaii?????”.Â
That would be right………..Kona has climate conditions that are perfect for coffee growing – this includes sunny mornings, humid and rainy afternoons and mild nights.
The next time you are shopping for Kona Coffee, be sure you know what you are buying. “Kona Blends” are not made of 100% Kona beans – in fact, these blends may contain as low as 10% Kona coffee beans. So, if you’re looking for real Kona coffee, insist on 100% Kona beans.

Kona, Hawaii offers some of the best deep sea Marlin fishing in the world.
Each year in August, the Hawaii International Billfish Tournament hosts teams from around the world, in one of the most prestigious fishing tourneys in the Country, competing for the Governor’s Trophy.
The tournament lasts 5 days with teams fishing off the warm waters off off Kona, Hawaii (the Big Island).
If you’re ever interested in visiting Kona during the summer and seeing the tournament, book early, as prime hotel rooms go fast!

A 4.7 magnitude Earthquake occurred this morning beneath the Kilauea Volcano on the Big Island of Hawaii.
It was the largest earthquake in the area in the last 50 years.
An Earthquake like this sometimes indicates a new eruption or a change in an existing eruption. However, there have been no outward signs of unusual summit activity.
Interestingly, Kilauea has been actively erupting since January 1983!
