Hawaii – November 2018 – Day 10 Zodiac Boat Tour and Historic Kona

Day 10 started out with a Zodiac Boat tour down the coast to another snorkel location. A Zodiac boat is a rigid hull, inflatable boat that can go very fast across the water, as Captain Bill demonstrated.

As we made our way down the coast we stopped by some sea caves.

Despite being formed by lava, they were very colorful.

We arrived at the bay where the snorkeling occurred. It is the bay where Captain Cook met his demise.

The snorkeling was great.
