Captain Cook Monument Hike and Snorkeling on the Big Island of Hawaii 

Thanks Tracie! I really appreciate the feedback 😃

Thanks, I appreciate it 😃

I totally agree, thank you!

Great feedback! I totally agree. It's so worth it.

I totally agree. The snorkeling was amazing, but that hike back up was intense!

I didn't even notice that ladder while we were there. We just swam up to the wall and used both arms to lift up to the wall and sit down and then stand up to walk out. It wasn't too hard for me. It was like getting out of a pool without using a ladder. Hope that helps 😃

Great point. at 2:19 in the video you will see a couple getting in. This is where we got in and out of the water.

Is it pretty much from the concrete in front of the monument?

@@lenaj.8881 Yes, from the concrete in front of the monument.

Yes, we brought our own snorkeling gear. We brought water, gatorade, peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, and some cliff bars. We wore our running shoes which was perfect for this long hike. We do a lot of hiking, but not hiking then snorkeling for hours and then hiking back up. It's definitely a tough hike back up, but it was totally worth it. Hope that helps. 😃
