OVERVIEW |
|
| |
|
|
| |
There are two ways to get to the spot on
Kealalekua Bay where Captain Cook died: by
boat or trail. The latter involves a steep
1,325 foot decent (a real quad burner on the
way back up), with some unforgettable views
along the way. Bring a mask and fins - one
of the best snorkeling spots in Hawaii
awaits at the bottom........ |
