Day 9 Kailua-Kona, HI

Today was such a fun day! We did something we have never done before - snorkeling! We went with Fair Wind cruises and it was such a wonderful experience. 45min ride out, with breakfast served and masks and fins were fitted. There was instruction on how to snorkel and then in we went! Although it was 84 degrees and sunny, the water was a little cool for me. But oh it was worth it. We were in Kealakekua Bay and the water was crystal clear. Saw so many varieties of tropical fish, and enjoyed the snorkeling a lot. There waa also a large pod of small spinner dolphins in the bay that put on quite a show for us the whole time we were there, breaching and spinning. The ships crew grilled burgers and dogs for us and after lunch, we headed back. On the way back we saw a humpback whale and lots of cute little flying fish that liked like birds. The crew was so helpful and attentive, the boat was user friendly, with stairs into the water and a couple water slides for fun. We did not go down the slide, sort of wishing I had tried it. They had masks with vision correction for my nearsightedness so we could see the fish clearly. After we got back we stopped by the farmers market for some fresh pineapple and watermelon. Then to the resort for a little rest before dinner outside on the patio of Kona Brewing Company. Nice place, good food. Another good day!Okumaya devam et
