Kona coffee is the signature souvenir — buy directly from farm stands along the Kona coffee belt for the freshest beans and best prices. Other local buys include macadamia nuts, Hawaiian sea salt, ukuleles, and local artist work found at the Hilo Farmers Market (Wed/Sat) and Kona's farmers markets. Look for a "100% Kona" label — blends labeled "Kona Blend" can be as little as 10% Kona coffee.
