On Wednesday, we rented kayaks from Ehu and Kai Adventures and kayaked across a bay to Captain Cook monument. We had two triple kayaks, one double, and one single — it was tough work to battle against the ocean, but also so fun to be out there on the water. There's great snorkeling near the monument, including a spot where the ocean floor drops steeply away and down. We were slightly bothered by all the tour boats taking up the best spots and spewing out diesel fumes, but they left after a bit and we and the other kayakers had more room. It was really cool to see all of the fish, and to just jump over the sides of our kayaks and into the water. We had to tow them behind us as we snorkeled, like big dogs on leash.
After snorkeling for a couple of hours, we kayaked back to shore, got ourselves out and showered off and changed, and headed in search of something tasty. We found Gypsea Gelato and then Kona Joe coffee farm —
We ordered dinner from Broke Da Mouth Grindz in Kona, and enjoyed a picnic on the beachy waterfront.
