Experience Kona by land and sea.

Continue on and take in views of Kealakekua Bay, St. Benedict's historic Painted Church, and Puuhonua O Honaunau National Historical Park. This place of refuge has served as a political and religious sanctuary since ancient times and is home to the sacred Halo Keawe Heiau, a temple that once housed the bones of deceased chiefs. Next prepare to board your powered catamaran for a once in a lifetime cruise of Kona’s history. Step aboard and step back in time, when ancient kings ruled the islands to the arrival of Captain Cook in Kealakekua Bay. Witness many points of interest including Hawaiian temples known as Heiau, the Holua slide, battlefields and the birth place of King Kamehameha to mention a few. Keep your eyes open for the resident spinner dolphins which frequent these waters year-round and the Humpback whales in the winter (whale season is from December through April). You won't go away hungry; a full buffet sandwich bar is available, including tropical fruits, Maui chips, sodas and island juices. As you head back to Kona, sit back and indulge with your favorite libation. Note: All efforts will be made to view the dolphins and whales, but sightings cannot be guaranteed.
