What to do and see in Honaunau, Hawaii (HI): The Best Outdoor Activities

May 14, 2022 Trinity Boughner

Hōnaunau (also spelled Honaunau) is an unincorporated community on the island of Hawaii in Hawaii County, Hawaii, United States. It lies just off Hawaii Belt Road on the opposite side of the island from Hilo, the county seat of Hawaii County. Its elevation is 52 feet (16 m). Because the community has borne multiple names, the Board on Geographic Names officially designated it "Honaunau" in 1914 and 1954 before changing to the current spelling in 2000. Although it is unincorporated, it has a post office, with the ZIP code 96726.

Turtles! Lots and lots and lots of fish and we saw an eel too! The coral is varied and lots of it, the water was calm and there was lots to explore. We found a super easy spot to enter the water, and this is now our favorite snorkeling spot on the Big Island!

Manini Kapahukapu Beach

We were greeted by a full rainbow and then to follow a beautiful sunset. There is an area where you can swim amongst the water. There is a nice little area to walk around the point but be careful it can be slippery due to the loose rocks. There is beautiful coral to see. I would recommend this to see the sunset.
