We've spent the last couple of days of 2014 exploring the Big Island's westside, both north and south. Click here for some photos.
Pat and Drew met up with a pair of manta rays yesterday while diving at Mahukona, the site of an abandoned sugar mill. The rest of us snorkeled, so weren't deep or far enough out to see the mantas, however we did see several whales spouting and breaching in the distance. We ended the day at Mauna Kea, a lovely white sand beach.
Today, we hiked down (2 miles and 1,500 feet down) to Captain Cook Monument to snorkel, then headed to Hapuna Beach, the boys' favorite boogie boarding spot, before catching the last sunset of 2014 at the beach at Hawaii's Natural Energy Lab.
Underwater video, along with photos from our Captain Cook hike and the fireworks we hope to see in a few hours in the Kailua-Kona Harbor coming soon. Happy New Year!
