My favorite things in no particular order:

Manua Kea summit trip, with post trip star gazing at the visitors center.

Volcano's N.P. with a twilight walk to the flowing lava.

Kayaking and snorkeling Kalakeakua Bay early AM to see and swim near the wild Dolphins.

snorkeling at Capt. Cook Monument- shrimp at Bubba Gump's (so it's a chain- it's good!)

I agree with ChristineP. Do a search. I also did a long trip report from May.

Parasailing! I was terrified the first time I tried it, but wanted to do it anyway - and once I got up there, it wasn't scary at all and I got absolutely addicted. The boat goes from the Kailua-Kona pier next to the King Kam Hotel. They have a perfect safety record and it's just magical.
