The Kona Cloud Forest is a unique sanctuary of ancient Koa and Ohia trees, hundreds of varieties of bamboo, and giant ferns. Bird lovers love it for exotics, including the Hawaiian hawk and several honeycreeper species. Coffee lovers rejoice as we move to Mountain Thunder Coffee! Learn how coffee is grown, dried, and roasted. Wind down the mountain to cool off with a cold Kona beer or cider at Ola Brew Co.
