Kona, Hawaii

I woke up feeling so much better on Wednesday. Our big adventure for the day was Captain Zodiak's Dolphin and Snorkeling Excursion. This one we felt was worth paying for. We took a speed boat out to see dolphins and go snorkeling. The water off of Kona is crystal clear and you can see the bottom of the ocean down to 200 feet.

That's our cruise ship in the background.


We stopped in a little bay where there is a monument to Captain Cook. I think this was the spot where the natives killed him. I don't think they appreciated all the diseases he brought. Anyway, this was the spot where we snorkeled. It was awesome!





On our return to the Harbor we got to see spinner dolphins. I guess they're a little sleepy in the morning but we still saw a few jumping.



What Santa does in the summer...
