While vacationing on the Big Island of Hawaii taking a boat ride to the tropical snorkeling reefs is an absolute MUST adventure! Kealakekua Bay, home to the Captain Cook Monument, is both a historic site and features some of the best snorkeling in the Hawaiian Island Chain.

Learn the history of the daring explorer, Captain Cook, and how he crossed the pacific multiple times in the 1800s before his ultimate demise at the hands of the Hawaiians on the shoreline beside the reef. Then take a dip in the crystal clear water to view tropical fish, healthy coral reefs, turtles, eels, and even dolphins.
