This is one of our top two snorkeling destinations on the Big Island. The only drawback is accessing the area. You have three main options: The first is to hike to the monument area. However, this is an intermediate to advanced hike, as it is about a 4.0 mile round trip and covers a 1300' drop in vertical elevation. Most of the hike is in full sun, so be sure to take a lot of water and do some pre-trip hike planning. Next, you can rent or bring a kayak to paddle to the site from across the bay. You have to tether the kayak to yourself, as landing the kayak without a special permit is prohibited. An approved kayak outfitter with a special permit may be an option if you wish to land your kayak. Lastly, you can take one of several snorkel boat tours to the site. Once there, the snorkeling is word class with an abundance of fish and coral.
