Destination
Cell service is extremely limited on/around the ranch
If you have the Google Maps app on your phone, you can download the map of Hawai'i so it is available offline. It's free and only requires 18 MB of storage space (equivalent to about 7 photos). When selecting the area to download, zoom so that Big Island is the only thing visible.
Accommodation

Kohala Club Hotel

Airbnb
There are lots of good Airbnb options in the neighborhood.
VRBO
Our landlords use a site called VRBO (Vacation Rental By Owner) to rent some of their other properties.
Exploration
We want all our guests to make the most of their Hawaiian adventure. Everyone is welcome to hang out with us on the ranch and plan their own excursions to beaches, volcanoes, cultural sites, golf courses, ziplines, coffee farms and whatever else floats your boat.
If you're staying in Kona, you'll have access to beautiful sandy swimmable beaches. However, most of the Big Island coast is rocky with rough shoreline, so the closest swimmable beach to the ranch is a 25 minute drive away at Hapuna Beach State Recreation Area. There are lots of beautiful coastal views much closer to Hawi which are great for hikes and picnics.
If you are inclined to rent a bike, one option is Mountain Road Cycles who provide top notch bikes for those looking to enjoy the ride.
