Kealakekua Bay Historical Park - Big Island (Hawaii)
  • Type: Diving and Snorkeling
    • User Rating  
  • NileGuide Expert tip:

    Look for the chair made of two flat rocks at the back of the beach and relax in the shade.


  • Description:

    • Snorkelers and divers flock to this bay, which is a designated marine preserve and home to hundreds of varieties of tropical fish, sea turtles and even some dolphins. Kayakers also enjoy the calm, warm waters. History buffs will be more interested in the monument to Captain James Cook, the first British sailor to venture to Hawai'i. Cook was at first revered by the Hawaiians, who believed him to be the god Lono, but eventually they killed him in a skirmish upon his return to the island.
