Today, one-mile wide Kealakekua (pathway of the god) Bay is a Marine Life Conservation District and divers and snorkelers visit daily to see an amazing diversity of coral and tropical fish. Dolphins and sea turtles are often sighted inside the protected bay. |

Look for the 27-foot high Captain Cook Monument that was erected in the 1870's on the north end of the bay by Cook's countrymen. Tour boats, kayaks, and a tiring hike are the only ways to access this remote historic spot. On the southern end of Kealakekua Bay is the Hiki'au Heiau, a religious site where human sacrifices were once performed. |
