Learned a lot about bees today. The beekeepers were very enthusiastic and knowledgeable. It was very cool seeing the hives and learning about the queen bee and how honey is made. The honey was excellent!

Kealakekua Bay

Reviewed By celestewest10s - Waikoloa, United States

This Is a wonderful day trip for the whole family to experience the wonders that make up what Hawaii is all about. It has history in that it was the site of a thriving Hawaiian village, you can rent kayaks to take across the bay to Captain Cook Monument; if you are a good swimmer, you can swim/snorkel in the bay and catch a glimpse of the magnificent dolphin pods that frequent the bay and you can just hang out at the rocky beach and watch the world go by. Easy to get to by car down the main hwy to Napooopo Rd, then follow the road down to the beach, about 5 miles. There are a few interesting things to see on the way down, besides the view, like Hawaii Island honey farm and the Kona coffee roasting building, with free samples at both places. Definitely worth the stop.

an interesting middle ground between something to make a destination and something to stop at as you drive by. A beautiful little whitewashed church, with a beautiful interior painted with biblical scenes; nice setting, interesting history. I would recommend this.

We were looking for a little hike and this was a fun way to meander through trees filled with nuts, fruits and flowers. If you take time to stop and look down there are some of those tiny fern plants that close their leaves when touched. Beautiful ocean views and plenty of little benches to stop and enjoy the scenery. We stopped and bought a loaf of banana bread on the way out. There are several roadside fruit stands along the route. Mahalo for the experience.

The Captain Cook Monument

A monument dedicated to Captain James Cook, who discovered the Hawaiian Islands and ended Hawaiian royalty.

Reviewed By Underwateredd - Amsterdam, The Netherlands

We opted to hike down to the monument to snorkel and the walk down is not difficult but strongly advise wearing hiking boots or sneakers. A pair of long trousers might be preferred by some as the grass can be overgrown in some places and may scratch. It's approx 45-60mins down to the water from the parking area. The path down is 200m from the main junction. Parking is available on the opposite side of the road from the path. (Try to park perpendicularly and off the road - some selfish people took up 3 car spaces by parking parallel to the kerb). As you get down to the water, you'll see a bay infront of you, follow the path to the left and it brings you to the monument and the best entry point to the water which is via a semi submerged wall. It doesnt take a genius to work out that if people sit on the wall then no one can enter nor exit the water...but people still do it! DOH!! The reef extends out to a steep drop but also in both directions left and right and the whole area is worth exploring. Stay away from the large day trip boats with the 100+ snorkelers clinging to the noodles as they will definitely scare away the more interesting things. We saw, green turtles, a hawksbill turtle, white tip reef sharks, moray eels, box fish, needle fish, tangs, different wrasse and dolphins further out. The walk up is not as hard as Waipio road. It's a longer uphill but the gradient is not so severe as Waipio and is mostly shaded. It took 65 mins to walk back up. (Make sure you have sufficient water for the walk up)
