    We bought your Big Island Itinerary and are planning to go in Feb 2025. This is the single thing I am most excited for! 🤙

      It is a fun trip. We are doing it again on our next trip out. Have a great time in February. Peak whale season!

    We went there in November, it was even better than in my dreams 💞 we even saw dolphins!
    My son was sick on the boat going there but quickly recovered and went swimming using a board with a little window in it, he was thrilled.
    Watching your lovely video brings back beautiful memories ❤

    I read on TripAdvisor that they are no longer offering the self-guided kayak tours, just the guided tours. Can you confirm and update your video? TY! :)

    Aloha! Thanks for the Kayak rental suggestion. Heading out to the Big Island next week and we were wondering where we should rent kayaks from.

    Thank you for this video. Currently planning our trip that is in two weeks & debating if I wanted to come here & do the hike (being lazy). LOL I didn't know there were other options to be able to snorkel at this spot until your video popped up on my news feed. Thank you for this & love your videos very useful/helpful! [=

      I'm not sure as it is a ways south of Kailua-Kona. If Uber isn't available, I'm sure a taxi will.

    Thank you for the video and information. How easy or hard was it to get back into the kayak after snorkeling?

      @TheHawaiiVacationGuide  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Throw a leg up and roll on. It doesn’t have to be graceful or hard!

    Beautiful video. Thanks! I would love to learn details on why the regular sunscreen is damaging to fish. Perhaps interview a reef life expert to explain in detail? I am not sure how many people will take action on your advice unless they really understand the direct impact. Your snorkeling video showing the tiny fish eating off the rocks helps visualize the problem.

    How often is the weather suitable for kayaking? My wife and I are wanting to do this at the end of March. Would it be to choppy?

    • @TheHawaiiVacationGuide
      @TheHawaiiVacationGuide  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      it is good for kayaking most of the time. March is the end of the rainy season so you may have to see what day is best to go during your trip.

      yes, it is an easy kayak trip. Try a guided tour if you are unsure. Links to our recommended guided tours are in the description.

    I always see kayaks in the water, but none up on shore. Can you "park" the kayaks on the shore?

      afraid not, a permit is required to go ashore. Some tour operators have a permit.

      We use a GoPro HERO 8 set at 4k and 30fps. I'm no camera pro so can't provide more advice than that!

    Just a word to people visiting
    You are NOT suppose to climb up onto Monument area as of last time I went KAPU!
    If you do it.please pick up some of the Trash left by Ugly Visitors that have No respect.
    I was told that DLNR keep eye on it for this reason. Enjoy the Island But please respect the Aina and The Culture🌈😎
