About The Captain Cook Monument
Kealakekua Bay is one of the most historic and beautiful places in Hawai’i. At the north end is the Captain Cook Monument, with the waters off the monument providing excellent snorkeling conditions and hundreds of fish and aquatic species you will only find in Hawai’i. Be on the lookout for the Hawai’ian spinner dolphins. These waters are best accessed through a guided tour of the Bay on our outrigger canoe or by a self-guided tour on a kayak.
We spent a week on the Big Island with our grandson to celebrate his graduation from high school. We rented kayaks online from Ehu and Kai. Their communications and directions were great. They gave us tips on paddling, and getting back into the kayaks, provided dry bags and even kept some of our belongings at their base until we returned. They even had a recommendation for poke, which my husband and grandson said was delicious!
– Tour18456037892 | TripAdvisorWe were able to reserve rental kayaks to take on our own across the Bay to the Captain Cook monument area for some snorkeling. The guys did a great job sharing the rules of the Bay and making sure our questions were answered and got us under way in no time. We are not super strong kayakers but navigated the Bay with ease. They give you super helpful landmarks to use for guidance!! Flash (the dog) was kind enough to watch over our shoes while we kayaked and he did an excellent job!!
– Rebecca S | TripAdvisorWe rented kayaks from Ehu & Kai for the 7:00 a.m. time slot and kayaked out to Captain Cook. The snorkeling was good, and we saw 20-30 spinner dolphins. All in all, it was a great experience!
– Denise C | TripAdvisorSimply amazing! Our tour guide, to me, showed what aloha really is. He was very friendly, cared for everyone on the tour, and made all of us feel welcomed to the Island. He shared their culture and history around Kealakekua Bay. If you want a peaceful and laid-back tour while having a better understanding of the Hawaiian culture, I highly recommend Ehu and Kai.
