Here are 7 Big Island outdoor experiences you’ll love (Feb 7–14)

This week’s vibe

Big Island scene

Trade winds are back, whales are spouting off the Kohala coast, and sunset is painting A-Bay guava-pink. If you’ve been craving fresh air and mele, this week’s lineup is pure Big Island magic.

Picture golden hour at The Queens’ Marketplace in Waikoloa—live music weaving through food stalls as the plumeria scent drifts onshore. That’s the feel of The Queens’ Culinary Market: ʻono bites, island makers, and that soft Thursday-evening glow.

Must-see under the open sky

The cultural heartbeat? Monday’s Weekly Hula at Coronation Pavilion. It’s free, outdoors, and full of mana—kahiko to ʻauana, pahu beats echoing across the lawn while the palms sway. Bring your aunties, your keiki, your visitors. Everyone leaves humming.

Sunday in HPP, walk the Awapuhi Labyrinth at Anawa Sunday Ritual Renewal. It’s a gentle reset—group blessing, mindful walk, and sound bath that feels like rinsing your mind in cool stream water. Donation-based and super welcoming.

And if you want to start strong, the sand at A-Bay makes the softest yoga mat. Yoga on the Beach with Calley O'Neill blends yoga, qigong, and meditation into one smooth, salty-aired “full body elixir.” You’ll float into the rest of your day.

Local’s notes

• ●Bring a light jacket for Waimea evenings—mauka breezes can chill fast.
• ●Reef-safe sunscreen and a hat are your besties for beach classes and markets.
• ●Pack a pareo or small chair for the lawn at Coronation Pavilion.
• ●Markets are mostly cash/card friendly, but small bills are aloha for quick buys.
• ●Parking fills near sunset—arrive a little early and enjoy the stroll.
