5 Days In The Big Island Sample Itinerary
"For a real Polynesian experience, head to Kanaka Kava and experience what it was like to get a ‘buzz’ before alcohol arrived on the islands. Kava is a popular drink in Polynesian and Melanesian islands, a muddy-looking concoction made from the roots of a plant. When drank in the right dosage, it can lead to a wonderful relaxing sensation (and may lead to a feeling of numbness in your tongue)."
Mentioned by Lonely Planet

"This tiny, grass-shack hangout is the place to try Hawaiian-style kava (the mildly sedative juice of the ʻawa plant) or organic noni (Indian mulberry) juice, another herbal elixir."
