Morning Encounter to Makalawena. Strap on your snorkel gear and get ready to jump into the warm Kona Coast for the swim of a lifetime.

The lava rock and tranquil water is the draw to this remote cove. With 100’s of underwater species to see, this entire area is very rich in marine life. Excellent snorkeling along the lava rock outcroppings that run along the multiple coves. Be sure to bring your underwater camera to capture the colorful schools of fish and vibrant reefs.
