Kailua-Kona guide

Please select your preferred Industry

Kailua-Kona is a census-designated place located in HawaiÊ»i County, HawaiÊ» of the i, in the North Kona DistrictIsland of HawaiÊ»i. It is the center of commerce and of the tourist industry on West HawaiÊ»i. It is famous in the sports world as the site of the HawaiÊ»i Ironman Triathlon and the Hawaiian International Billfish Tournament. The town's post office is designated Kailua-Kona to differentiate it from the larger, Kailua located on windward OÊ»ahu, although it is referred to as "Kona" in everyday speech. Many place names in the Hawaiian Islands are repeated on several islands, but the two Kailuas are the only confusing conflict in this regard. The city is served by Kona International Airport. Kailua-Kona was the closest major settlement to the epicenter of the 2006 HawaiÊ»i Earthquake. Kailua-Kona was established by King Kamehameha I to be his seat of government (he originally was the chief of Kona, before unifying more and more of the archipelago under his rule), and the capital of the newly unified Kingdom of Hawaii. The capital was later moved to Lahaina, then, to Honolulu. Royal fishponds at Kaloko-HonokÅhau National Historical Park were the hub of unified Hawaiian culture. The town then functioned as a retreat of the Hawaiian royal family. Up until the late 1900’s, Kailua-Kona was primary a small fishing village. More recently, this region has undergone a real estate and construction boom fueled by tourism and investment.

The coldest month in Kona is February and the average high in February is 80 F while the average low is 64 F. August is the warmest month and the average high is 87 F while the average low is 69 F. Humidity is between 50 percent and 80 percent. The temperature change between night and day is greater than the temperature change between winter and summer. Mornings are typically clear while thermal clouds created in the day raises the temperature during the day. Fog can cover parts of the Kona coast from time to time depending on the activity of the Kilauea and the island winds. Kailua-Kona is located in the lee of the Hualalai Volcano sheltering the town from wind and rain
