Peter Greenberg Worldwide — Mauna Kea Resort — July 4, 2026

This week’s broadcast of Peter Greenberg Worldwide is from the historic Mauna Kea Resort in Waimea, Hawaii, now celebrating its 60th anniversary. And the story began when Laurance Rockefeller was swimming in the turquoise and untouched waters of Kaunaʻoa Bay, surrounded only by a vast landscape of lava rock and ranchland with clear views of Maunakea’s summit, that he decided to build the island’s first resort. And this week, Peter’s reporting from the Mauna Kea with all the travel updates for this holiday weekend celebrating America’s 250th. Clint Henderson, Managing Director at The Points Guy, explains the changes in airline pricing — and despite the huge surge in ticket costs, how and why people are still paying those prices, not to mention whether it’s still possible to redeem frequent flier miles. And then a deep dive into Mauna Kea and the Big Island. Cultural Advisor Punahele Andrade shares the Hawaiian concept of unconditional, unwavering love and how it perseveres on the island. Scott Yoell, Owner of Island Eclectic, preserves — and presents — the unique, historic art pieces that can be found throughout the Mauna Kea Resort, and the stories they tell. And Spa Director Psalm Quin goes beyond the expected definitions of a resort spa. There’s all this and more on this week’s Peter Greenberg Worldwide.
