Ocean Sea Kayaking in Keahou Bay - Kona Hawaii

The family set off this morning at 8:00 AM Hawaiian time for a sea kayaking adventure. The kayaking was a little more of a workout than I really wanted, but it was well worth it. Jen and I shared a kayak and set off out of Keahou Bay with a small group of about 10 kayaks and two guides. We paddled for about a half hour south along the Hawaii cliffs as the waves crashed along the lava rocks. The excursion led us to a 35 foot cliff where those who were brave enough went cliff diving (Derick, Jen, Chad, Stacy, and Rob). We then set off to a nice little cave and then went snorkeling in crystal clear blue water. Here is where we found another cliff (little smaller - 22ft) and a good many of us jumped off of it as well. After a small snack on the lava rocks, we climbed back into the kayaks. Not even two minutes later we saw a pack of 20-30 dolphins and they swam right up to our kayaks. It was the coolest thing ever! The dolphins literately swam next to our kayaks almost the entire way back. After a leisurely paddle back to the bay, our excursion came to an end. We head off to the Luau tonight for some Hawaiian entertainment! More to come...
