Either way, you can’t go wrong, it just depends on when you want to begin your jaunt and what you choose to savor along the way. Pro tip: A bit further north along the shore from the Fairmont, the resort’s path will cross its sprawling lawn and connect to a trail along the shoreline that leads to another public access parking lot - Holoholokai Beach Park.** Here you can explore more ancient petroglyphs or make this your starting point (or park/valet at the Fairmont) and end at Napua, back at the beach club. After immersing yourself in tropical splendor, stay for sunset or head back the way you came, completing your journey of sip, dip & savor! Tempted by the inviting swimming pool? Day passes can be purchased at A bit further along the beach, you’ll come to Brown’s Beach House for fine dining (dinner reservations recommended) and Kahakai Bar - another great site for drinks and creative island fare such as chipotle chicken tacos and watermelon-cucumber mojitos. Happy hour is from 3-5pm Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays and includes treats like avocado toast & hummus, tuna poke and 50% off bottles of champagne. Two beachside settings offer drinks and pupus (appetizers) - the Pau Hana Champagne Bar is the first you’ll spot directly on the beach. Another inviting bay of crystal clear water welcomes you in front of the hotel’s beach bar. Hit the beach and continue north…after the elegant Canoe House restaurant, the trail will transform into soft black sand and some smooth coral, leading to the stately resort. Venture on to the Fairmont Orchid Resort. An alternative is to park/valet at the Mauna Lani Auberge Hotel and start your journey at the next stop: Changing rooms and beach showers are available to the public. Feel free to take your first dip here in the sapphire bay in front of the restaurant. Ocean breezes and dreamy views bless this charming venue with a sunken bar. Take the left fork in the path and head to Napua restaurant for your first well-earned refreshment. Cross the golf course and the scenery changes dramatically to lush coconut groves and emerald green fish ponds once reserved for Hawaiian royalty. The paved foot path meanders through a desert-like landscape of lava rock and kiawe (mesquite) trees where you can spot ancient petroglyphs and a cave dwelling. The Sip n Dip lounge, a Great Falls Tiki bar with an international reputation as a fun and unique venue because of people dressed as mermaids swimming behind the bar, made the announcement. If you don’t have one of these access cards, another great starting point is the public access at the historical park. All guests of the Mauna Lani resorts and vacation rentals have access to the private parking lot at Mauna Lani Beach Club. /rebates/&.com252fRestaurantReview-g45198-d2419487-Reviews-SipnDipLounge-GreatFallsMontana.
