A low gate opens onto a ridge that throws the ocean into a wide, glittering arc. Guests gather on the grass as the western sky steels itself for color; the wind comes in like a presence, brushing the tobacco smoke and the conversation toward the sea.

A low gate opens onto a ridge that throws the ocean into a wide, glittering arc. Guests gather on the grass as the western sky steels itself for color; the wind comes in like a presence, brushing the tobacco smoke and the conversation toward the sea. Richard, the host, sets out a curated selection of premium cigars and local spirits while the horizon pulls the day apart.
This is Puʻu Kehoni above Kokoiki, a historic high point in North Kohala whose volcanic slopes and black-lava coastline tell a story of eruptions and erosion. The site looks across to Maui, Lānaʻi and Hualālai, and sits near Kokoiki—one of the places linked to the life of Kamehameha I. The land retains ranching traces: gated roads, dairy pastures, and the occasional cattle lowing that keep the island’s rural rhythm alive.
The experience is designed to be small and private—6–10 guests—so the atmosphere is intimate and unhurried. Expect rustic seating, an open-air lounge, and the possibility that Buddy, the host’s Pomeranian, may make an appearance. You may bring your own cigars or taste the "unicorn" selections recommended by the host; local liquors are available to pair.
Practical notes: DO NOT rely on Google Maps for the entrance; search for Kokoiki Road and meet at the gate. The walk-up includes a couple of steps; the wind can be sharp at sunset—bring a windproof layer. The host cancels for storms, and full refunds require 24-hour notice. Bring ID, arrive early, and leave phones idle to appreciate the view and company.
