Manta Ray snorkeling aboard the Kona Style catamaran in Kailua-Kona Hawaii Big Island
#mantarays #snorkeling #bigisland We took a snorkeling cruise aboard the Kona Style catamaran in Kailua-Kona on the Big Island of Hawaii. It was one of the coolest things I’ve ever done. The crew was very nice and professional. The boat was very nice. It appeared new and clean. The manta rays are attracted to the plankton, which are attracted to the lights, so all the cruises have snorkelers hang onto surfboards with handles affixed, and use pool noodles to support their feet and keep them level with the water. The manta rays were super cool! And as they feed at night, the only way to see or experience them is to book a tour like this.

*We incorrectly listed the location of Punalu’u Black Sand Beach as Nīnole. Thank you to Tylah808 for bringing that to our attention. The correct location is Pahala.
**Thanks to viewer Robert Whitaker for the following corrections regarding locations. Waipi'o Valley lookout is in Waip'io, not Honoka'a (we used it as the nearest town as a point of geographic reference). Kiholo State Park is not in Kamuela, but in greater Kailua-Kona area. Punalu’u Black Sand Beach is not in Ninole, but Pahala*
***Apologies for the misspelling of Kamekameha.
????We recommend downloading The GyPSy Audio Guide if you end up driving around the island (
????Due to the volcanic eruptions on May 2018, check for Hawaii Volcanoes National Park attractions statuses and closures
(
????It was helpful to know the status of Parks & Beaches in Hawaii we intended to visit so check out the Hawaii Division of State Parks website.
(
⚠️For Waip’io Valley and Mauna Kea Summit road trips make sure to check your rental car agreements. If you do drive down to the Valley or up to the Summit cars with 4X4 are encouraged.

Big Island Hawaii. Part 5. Driving to Kailua-Kona.
December 2009. Music by Lyman.
Check out the Hawaiian style highway graffiti. White coral on black lava.
The Hawaiʻi Belt Road is a modern name for the Māmalahoa Highway and consists of Hawaiʻi State Highways 11, 19, and 190 that encircles the Island of Hawaiʻi. The southern section, between Hilo and Kailua-Kona is numbered as State Highway 11. The section between Hilo and Waimea is State Highway 19. Between Waimea and Kailua-Kona, the road is split in two: the original mauka route (now State Highway 190) and a makai route 19, completed in 1975, which serves as access to the Kona and Kohala Coast resorts. (In the Hawaiian language, mauka means towards the mountain and makai means towards the sea. These terms are commonly used in travel directions.)
Parts of the southern half of the Hawaiʻi Belt Road were known during the Territorial days as the Kaʻū Belt Road. The names Hawaiʻi Belt Road and Māmalahoa Highway refer to the road system that encircles the entire island; many sections are also referenced by local names. (wikipedia)

Wintertime brings whales into view, and in other seasons, spinner dolphins, sea turtles (honu), and outrigger canoes glide by. The golden flashes you’ll see in the water just below the yard are yellow tangs.
Every amenity you might want awaits you in this beautiful, homey unit. Tiled floors downstairs and the well-appointed kitchen make vacation living easy.
Just steps away from the condo, past a treasured Hawai’ian Heritage Site, you will find the best snorkeling park on the island at Kahalu'u Beach. You can swim with sea turtles and beautiful tropical fish.
