About Kailua Kona's Waikoloa Beach Resort

If you have visited Kona or the Kohala Coast of the Big Island, undoubtedly you have heard of the "Green Flash".

The phenomenon is real: on a truly clear evening, you can watch the sun drop into the Pacific and momentarily see a green glow spread across the horizon. This photo from the Halii Kai Ocean Club demonstrates the perfect conditions:

The Green Flash is also a drink I remember downing at a waterfront bar or two! [OK, click here for a Green Flash Recipe courtesy of Absolut Vodka]

This post, however, is about a different kind of Green Flash--a "green", earth-friendly, news bulletin.

The Big Island Visitors Bureau has just launched a webpage for visitors who wish to travel green. The site features not only ecotourism options, but also "sustainable travel" tips, for visitors who want to learn more about Hawaiian culture as a model for sustainability, or just reduce the impact of their travel by frequenting hotels and businesses that exemplify green business practices.

Many of my clients were drawn to the Big Island in search of a greener lifestyle. For additional resources if you'd like to research the sustainable movement here, feel free to email me for my growing database of information.

A hui hou!
