Well you now have all the things you need to be careful of...
now enjoy.
It's beautiful in Kapoho...if I could afford to own a house there I would. You will be in the "sunbelt" so it's usually warmer there and swimming is wonderful. Ask the locals for a good spot. The Plumerias are huge down there and the tide pools in front of many of the homes are lovely too.
The hotponds can be precarious if you have cuts or sores. If you are sure you must, then check out the champagne pond in Kapoho where you will be staying...there are always large honu (turtles) resting there.
Check out Akaka Falls - it's a nice hike (not to mention the drive up the highway north is gorgeous). Honomu is a darling little town in that area with an amazing bakery.
Further up the highway you can reach Waipio Valley (gobsmackingly pretty) and the cute town of Honoka'a just before you get to the Valley. (Don't miss out on Tex's drive inn on the way for Malasadas...a real treat!)
There are too many beautiful spots on this island to mention. Hope you make an effort to see them all!!! [:X]
