St. Peter's Catholic Church and Snorkeling Spot, Aliʻi Drive

Highlight • Religious Site

Aliʻi Drive is one of the most beautiful snorkeling spots along the east coast to the east. A stop here is always worthwhile, as the postcard-famous blue ocean and small St. Peters Catholic Church is located here. The best time to cycle through is early in the morning, but during that time it is important be respectful of the surfers who get up early to surf here.

Kahaluu Beach Park

Highlight • Beach

Kahaluu Beach Park is a fantastic spot for seeing wildlife while snorkeling; it was described like "a real-life aquarium". Kahaluu is a bay protected on the Kona shore, a few miles south of the town of Kailua-Kona. The snorkeling here is super accessible, and the water is crystal clear. Visitors can see sea turtles, corals, and a variety of brightly colored tropical fish. Just keep in mind that wildlife should always be viewed from a distance.
