In the world of golf, Hawaii Island is regarded as the pinnacle playground, a land of uncommon beauty, startling diversity and welcoming weather. Alongside Fairmont Orchid is the award-winning 45-hole championship Mauna Lani Golf Course, which was designed to have two distinct 18-hole complexes, the south and north course, each capturing unique characteristics of the Island landscape. Both courses satisfy every level, appealing to the recreational golfer and ready to be tightened up to meet the demands of tournament play.
Your full-day educational adventure of the Big Island of Hawaii begins on the Kona coast, where you'll be picked up from your hotel, and driven north on a scenic journey past historic Parker Ranch. As you pass through the ranching town of Waimea, watch as the landscape changes from pastures to green, tropical rainforest, as sweeping views of the Hamakua Coast start creeping into view. During a stop at Waipio Valley lookout, marvel at the way the vertical cliffs seem to explode from the green valley floor. The adventure continues as you wind your way down the Hamakua Coast, past roadside towns until you reach Akaka Falls and Rainbow Falls, the most dramatic waterfalls on the island. You'll then make your way back toward sea level at Punalu'u Beach to take a stroll on a black-sand beach where, if you're lucky, you'll find Hawaiian green sea turtles basking on the coast! Head next to Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, before rounding the southern tip of the island, the southernmost point in America. Look out for Kealakekua Bay, the spot where Captain Cook was killed in a skirmish with Native Hawaiians.
