Lifestyle:
Kau is the undiscovered country of the Big Island. It’s the southern most point in the United States of
America and almost untouched by modern civilization. Outside of the small towns of Naalehu, Pahala and
Volcano, it’s “off-the-grid” but with magnificent views of the mountains and the ocean. Anyone looking
for privacy and natural beauty will love Kau, and due to its remoteness, you’ll find some of the island’s
best deals on homes and land. On the Western edge of the Kau
district lies Hawaii Volcanoes National Park and the aptly named
village of Volcano, an artist community that benefits from the
huge visitor traffic drawn to Kilauea, the most active volcano in
Hawaii.
Kau is home to many writers and artists who enjoy the beauty of
Hawaii and appreciate the privacy afforded by this rural and remote district. There is an elementary and
middle school in Na’alehu, and K-12 schools in Pahala, but neither are highly rated. The town of Pahala
has a community hospital and there are “Mom and Pop” stores providing the basic necessities, but Kau is
not Kailua Kona or Hilo - this is life on one of America’s last frontiers, full of natural beauty, but not for
those craving a big city lifestyle. Volcano village is is on the eastern edge of Kau and more “on the grid”
with its proximity to the national park and to Hilo. You won’t find schools, hospitals or major shopping
centers in Volcano but you will find a grocery store, a couple of fine restaurants, a nice lodge, and a few
bed and breakfasts catering mainly to the national park visitors.
Activities:
Kau is Hawaii in all its natural beauty from the green sand beaches of Ka Lae (South Point) to the
black sand beach of Punalu’u to the rain forests of Volcano and the mighty Kilauea, home of Pele,
the Hawaiian Goddess of Fire. Kau is also known for its old Hawaiian ranches where the lifestyle of
the paniolo, the Hawaiian cowboy, still endures. Hiking, fishing, biking, horseback riding and hunting
are all part of the rugged Kau lifestyle.
Heritage:
Ka Lae (South Point) is believed to be one of the first landing spots for the ancient Polynesians who
arrived here around 300 AD. Kau district has a land mass of 922 square miles making it the largest
district on the island and ideal for cattle ranching, a practice that goes back well over one hundred
years. It is a land of Hawaiian warriors and rough-and-tumble cowboys and that adventurous spirit
still holds true for those who make Kau their home.
