It is often very rainy on this side of the Islands, what keeps vast majority of visitors on the Kona side. We found ourselves forced several times to "duck the rain" during our trip, but the luck was on our side: In each point of interest we arrived as the sun popped out, and we continued as soon rain set on, only to find another sunny break on the next stop. This made on us of course a magic impression and we have very found memory of what we saw along Hamakua Coast. Definitely a "must see" for every visitor to the Big Island.
