Featured Activity: Paniolo Adventures
Paniolo Adventures provides a premier open range horseback riding experience on the lush, green slopes of the Kohala Mountains. Guests experience what it is like to be a paniolo (Hawaiian Cowboy) and feel like a real paniolo when they are outfitted with boots, hats, chaps and Australian dusters and ride the range dotted with grazing cattle. Paniolo Adventures is located off the Kohala Mountain Road on Ponoholo Ranch and rides offer awe inspiring views of the Pacific Ocean, the Kohala and Kona coastline, the islandʻs Mauna Kea, Mauna Loa and Hualālai volcanoes, and the Haleakala Volcano on Maui. Paniolo Adventures offers rides for all skill levels, from Tenderfoots to Wranglers. For more information or to book a ride call 808-889-5354 or visit PanioloAdventures.com.

Generous servings of local-style foods using fresh island ingredients can be found at Hawaiian Style Café. The restaurant offers two locations – one in Waimea and one in Hilo. Both will make sure you walk away replete. The Waimea location ( 65-1290 Kawaihae Road) is open for breakfast and lunch daily. The Hilo location (681 Manono St., Ste. 101) is open for breakfast and lunch daily and dinner on Tuesday/Wednesday/Thursday. Their menu at both locations is extensive with all your breakfast favorites. Word of caution, if you order the pancakes be prepared to share as each serving is more than generous (think plate-size cakes). For lunch, the variety of plate lunches will have you coming back again and again so you can sample all of the options. Big burgers, stews and sandwiches are all available as well as local favorites.
