About Kailua-Kona

Kailua-Kona is a tender port. Ships anchor in Kailua Bay and guests ride tenders to Kailua Pier, where Ali'i Drive runs along the waterfront. Ahu'ena Heiau, usually viewed from its edge, sits beside the pier area, and Hulihe'e Palace, Mokuaikaua Church, shops, restaurants and a small beach are within walking distance. Weather and swells can occasionally delay tendering. Most other attractions lie south of town and need transport.
