Bring your own equipment or use ours at no charge. Prescription masks are available to rent in Kailua-Kona. All along the coast there are black sand, gray sand, and a few white sand beaches and bays, with interesting and unusual natural or historical features that we know and love to explore and share. Most are shaded with large palms or other beach shade trees. At the bay you'll swim and snorkel in a white sand cove, and wash off in a cool, deep freshwater pool.
Drinking water is available at the park camping shelter nearby.
We will camp two nights here or go on to Keauhou Bay a few miles out on the trail where the snorkeling is even better and there are unique petroglyphs. And of course the Hawaiian people still live here in and near their ancestral villages. All your guides know a great deal about the fish, birds, sea, and geology of the islands that they are eager to share with you. We'll stay away from burial caves, and limit our souvenirs to photographs. I follow the guidelines worked out by the Hawaii Paddlers' Alliance on all these trips.
