More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The light thins over the Kohala ridge and the wind pushes salt-scented air across the pasture as you climb the gate at the end of Kokoiki Road. Perched on Puʻu Kokoiki, the lounge opens to an unbroken western horizon where Maui, Lānaʻi, Kahoʻolawe and Hualālai line the last light. Conversation softens; the ocean calls from below and a cigar becomes a slow companion to the sinking sun.
