Stop At: Kealakekua Bay
Captain Cook, Hawaii
Located approximately 10-miles South of Kealakekua Bay, our Luxury Kona Coast Snorkel Tour often visits the remote and serene Pali Kaholo region, consisting of Rob’s Reef and Turtle Rock (weather depending). Rob’s Reef – A definite favorite with its amazing underwater sea arches and sea caves in the Pali (cliff). Amidst the colorful array of fish and marine life located here, snorkelers may find a unique school of Pyramid Butterflyfish – which are usually only seen in deeper waters. Turtle Rock – As the name suggests, this area is frequented by Green Sea Turtles. The vibrant coral and black sand together in this area create a beautiful contrast. There are also several rock islands and ridges extending below and above the water. Nearby is Lepeamoa, a large rock formation resembling a rooster’s comb.

Stop At: The Captain Cook Monument
Kealakekua Bay, Captain Cook, Hawaii
WEATHER DEPENDING - This large red volcanic cone is named for the type of cinder which it produced. Pu'u - meaning hill and hau, a special stone that was soft, porous, and once used for polishing canoes. Located north of Kealakekua Bay, it is situated between Nenue Point to the North and Keawakaheka Bay to the South, marking the boundary between North and South Kona. The top of Pu’u Ohau (Red Hill) is Kapu, or forbidden, as it is the ancient burial site of High Chiefess Kamaeokalani, grandmother of King Kalakaua and Queen Liliuokalani. Today, the Red Hill area has become known for its excellent snorkeling amongst the many reefs and abundant marine life it sustains.
