Swimming With The Hawaiian Fishes - Diving Kealakekua Bay Captain Cook Monument, Hawaii
Aloha Hui!
Today we mix it up a bit and get some diving done over at Kealakekua Bay, Hawaii. Aura was kind enough to invite me to go out on a diving sesh to the captain cook monument to get some nice looks at the Hawaiian fish and the beautiful ocean. Saw a few Invasive roi to, but the area is a no fishing zone so I guess they are going to need to hang out. It was an amazing diving and swimming sesh non the less and a beautiful day in the ocean of Hawaii.
Captain Cook Monument Hike Kealakekua Bay
We walk through everything you need to know about the hike down to the Captain Cook monument at Kealakekua Bay on the Big Island.
For directions you can Google Maps search 19.493,-155.918
Or, if you prefer actual directions, just south of the town of Kealakekua you will want to turn makai (towards the ocean) onto Napo'opo'o Rd. Just a few hundred feet down this road you will want to park on the mauka (towards the mountain) side of the road. Be sure to pull completely off of the road so you don't get sideswiped!
Trail description: the trail is approximately 1.8 miles long with an elevation loss of 1250 ft going down. Coming back up is a bit more strenuous, as you will be climbing, climbing, climbing. There are no difficult obstacles. The main thing you need to look out for is loose footing. Don't slip and hurt yourself or twist an ankle!
Once you get to the bottom of the trail, stay to the left till you see the monument to Captain James Cook.
This is an excellent spot for snorkeling! It is actually considered to be one of the best on the island!

Most of Captain Cook lies between the 800-foot (240 m) and 2,000-foot (610 m) elevation, which makes it ideal as a coffee-growing region. It sits on the top of an ancient fault which created the famous Kealakekua Bay.

Lava zones, redlining, and insurance issues
Captain Cook shares much in common with the District of Puna. Both districts are situated on active volcanoes and contain large sections of land that are in Lava Flow Hazard Zone 2. Additionally, new lava hazard zones 11, 12, and 13 are being established to account for current flow activity to reduce redlining.

Captain Cook hike | Kealakekua Bay
We went on a hike the next day after the big meal night before. We were so excited to see mango trees lined up both sides of the trail. I tried my childhood skills to throw some rocks at the mangos on trees so they would drop. Happy to manage one. Visited a perfect beach with a lots of coconut trees where Mountains surrounded as a V shape and turquoise blue water. We sat leaning on coconut tree and soak up on the beauty that surrounds us. What a day!!

On our vacation on the island of Hawaii, we hiked down to Kealakekua Bay from the trailhead on Nāpō'opo'o Road. A fairly difficult 2 mile trail through an overgrown field and over plenty of lava rock. If you go, make sure to take plenty of water. The snorkelling was great and we got up close with a sea turtle.
