This is a strong hike down to some of the most beautiful reef in Hawaii. Bring a snack, plenty of water, and snorkel gear. I recommend starting the hike at 2:30 so you don't have to hike up in the hot sun! Bring a flashlight if you like to take your time.

Kaawaloa Trail. A steep hike to Captain Cooks Monument at Kealakekua Bay. Worth the effort and about 30 minutes one way.

If you are really adventurist, hike this trail down to spectacular snorkeling for a real Hawaii wild experience. Warning, it is steep and can get slippery if it rains. Not for everyone. Take water and pack a lunch.

Excellent snorkeling and diving here, kayaking and dolphin sitings too.

With the entrance to the trailhead just a 10-minute walk from Manta Soul, this 3.75-mile roundtrip hike traverses lush vegetation, dropping down to Kealakekua Bay and the Captain Cook Monument which commemorates the British commander killed there in 1779. Reachable only by boat, kayak, or foot, the waters there at the monument are one of the best snorkeling spots on the island, and home to pods of spinner dolphins. The hike is rated difficult, since there is a mile of uphill hiking on the return, but depending on what you want, you can hike a few minutes down the trail and a few minutes back up for a gorgeous open-air workout, or make a day of it and go all the way down to jump in the refreshing tropical waters as your reward. A reasonable, active pace will take you about 45 minutes to go down and about an hour to come back up.
