Keauhou Bay
 Keauhou
Bay is located at the end of Ali'i Drive, just South of Kailua-Kona.
It is a picturesque, protected harbor filled with boats, surrounded
by up sloping dried lava beds. There are some impressive sea
caves and cliffs just South of Keauhou Bay and easily accessible by
Kayak. Launch your Kayak from the Keauhou Bay Harbor.
You can even rent your kayak right there at the water's edge - that
way you don't even have to transport the kayak by car. Rent a
kayak yourself or join a
guided kayak tour.
Kayak to the Sea Caves
 Kayak
straight out of the harbor favoring the South side of the bay -
adjacent to the hotel resort perched on the towering cliffs above.
Continue South around the point and beyond the resort premises.
As you continue South, the coast will
curve in, and as you kayak in a South Easterly direction, you will
see the sea caves ahead of you.
There are large cliffs behind and all around as well.

 There
are several caves for you to explore. You can kayak right into
the caves or simply admire them from the outside. You can even
put on your mask and snorkel and swim in the crystal clear waters
around the caves. Admire the undiscovered underwater scenery
and colorful coral habitats below.
Jump Off the Cliffs
 If
you position your kayaks carefully, you can also climb some of the
cliffs adjacent to these caves and perform a few breath-taking cliff
jumps into the ocean below! Take your time and enjoy he
spectacular scenery - after all, you just kayaked all the way out
here!
You can kayak the
entire Big Island, but there are some unique kayaking spots that you
must not miss.
In South Kona are Keauhou Bay,
Kealakekua Bay, and
Honaunau, both
excellent kayaking, snorkeling and
diving spots.
Keep an eye out for
the sea turtles and spinner dolphins!
Feeling
adventurous? Kayak to the Sea
Caves at Honaunau.

 We
recommend two people rent one two-person kayak rather than two
individual kayaks. With your rental, you get a soft rack that
fits any vehicle, paddles, a dry bag (for cameras, wallets, etc.), a
cooler (for lunch), and tie down straps for
your
gear. If you have not used a kayak before, make sure you ask
for instructions. Feel free to ask the shopkeeper for
directions to the best kayaking / snorkeling locations as well.
You can also rent snorkeling equipment from one of these stores.
