Anaehoomalu

Reviewed By christinern - Vancouver, Canada

Go in the morning, before the waves and wind pick up. A long beach to walk, there are loungers close to the Marriott resort. Good for boogie boarding, some snorkeling and swimming. Lots of shade if you get there early. Beautiful sunsets from behind the fish pond looking towards the ocean. Walk down the beach past Lava Lava to spot turtles on the rocks and beach. Many feral and friendly cats live here.

Wherever we travel, we try to find places to rent bicycles. This is the second time we have rented from Bike Works Beach and Sport in Waikoloa. Once again we were very pleased with the bikes and the service. The shop has many levels of bicycles available for rental including from mountain bikes to hybrids to high-end road bikes. You can rent for a day or for an extended stay. We rented road bikes for our week here. Bike fit can be problematic we one rents, but our bikes fit very well. Some helpful advice - bring your own pedals and saddles if you can. The guys in the shop were very helpful with getting the fit correct and with good suggestions for places ride. We had a great week of cycling. Be careful to note that they have a sister shop in Kona. You want to be sure you rent from the correct location.
