Great Poke! Plenty of different bowls to try so something for everyone and at a reasonable price. If you want fresh fish this is a good place to try. Go EARLY if you want to try the Lumpia - they sell out quick! Indoor or outdoor seating. They also have a small bar. most tables and booths will seat 6 easily.

We eat here often - locally owned with a great mix of local and traditional foods (get your Loco-Moco or a tender Roast Beef plate!)
Daily specials are great - plenty of food on your plate and some bills left in your wallet!
People are friendly and food is always good.

Parks & Nature
we paddle here with the local Keauhou Paddling Club. Tuesday/Thursday/Saturday is free at 0600. Great way to experience paddling with a group out into the ocean (they don't go to far - 3-4 miles). also a great place to snorkel not a lot of beach area.

Entertainment & Activities
Great for Scuba and Snorkeling alike!
People are friendly and the shop is clean. They have a pool that allows you to try scuba for the first time, or take a quick refresher before dive day! Jack's operates their own boat out of the marina. They also do Night Manta dives (awesome).

Regal Keauhou
clean theater, 7 screens of new releases.
Shopping
Great place to get fruits and vegetables - not to mention a few 'knick-knacks' to take home or to decorate your island retreat. LOTS of tourists - especially when the cruise ship in in port. It's one of two places we shop for our local produce most of the time.

Farmers market on Saturdays for local produce and coffee...can be a little pricey depending on what your looking for so shop around and don't be afraid to walk over to another vendor. This is where we get one of our favorites, Dragon Fruit!
