HO`OKENA BEACH DAY PADDLE AND SNORKEL TRIP.
This day kayak trip is located at Ho`okena County Beach Park, a beautiful village in accessible but remote South Kona. This trip is for the slightly more adventurous and fit group, because the total distance is almost six miles. We paddle by or into two interesting sea caves. We can easily customize a shorter trip with a shorter paddling distance and longer snorkeling from the shore.We paddle leisurely from our sandy beach after a brief kayaking lesson under the palm trees to the south end of Pu`uhonua O Honaunau National Park. Here we enter a large sea cave, have a full lunch under the shade trees, and walk a little ways on the newest national park trail: the Ala Kahakai National Historic Trail. Snorkeling is great with many colorful fish in warm, turquoise blue water. The water here is so clear, safe, and buoyant!
PRICE: $91.25 per person, with tax = $95.00, includes snack and full picnic lunch. Four person minimum. Family, corporate, and special interest groups welcome! Children 3-12 half price; 13 and over full price. LENGTH: Five to six hours, depending on length.

GUIDED FOUR DAY KAYAK/HIKING TRIPS:
Our four-day, three night trip is relaxing, interesting, and varied with activities for everybody, from kayak paddling, great snorkeling, to hiking, to tidal pooling. These trips go to bays and beaches on the sunny leeward side of the island of Hawaii south of Kailua-Kona and to the cool country uplands of Volcanoes Park or waterfall valleys.
For two nights we camp under the palms at Ho`kena County Beach Park, a black sand beach in the South Kona area with great snorkeling and superb paddling to interesting areas with sea caves, and frequent spinner dolphin visits.
Then on the third and fourth days we head south to Hawaii Volcanoes National Park where we stay in a lovely B and B in the jungle rain forest. Here we explore the upland jungle hiking trails of Volcanoes Park with many native birds and plants. We cook our lunch over the steam vents on the crater floor and walk through Thurston Lava Tube. At night we head down to view the active flowing red-hot lava surging into the sea where the surf pounds on the newly formed black sand beaches.
This trip can be customized if you would prefer four days on the warm, sunny leeward side, with other white sand beach and river valley exploring. In this option spend at our luxury night at a bed and breakfast in the Kona coffee belt, in the cool upland tropical jungle, complete with small pool and jacuzzi.
