Hello ,
We are going to Hawaii Big Island between March 11th and March 21st. We are flying into Hilo and spending five days. And driving to Kona and spending 5 days and then flying back from Kona to Philadelphia.Haven't booked car and hotel.
I got PADI certified in ow last year in Bonaire and I've done like 25 dives along with the diving group. I'm also a snorkeler. What are the good sites to snorkel on the hilo side of the big island?. I know kona has plenty of sites.
I also need few sites that are kid friendly since my 6yo can snorkel.
The other sites I can go without my family.
Planning to hook up with jacks in kona and rent bcd, reg. Then with them planning in diving for a day. Please recommend what are good snorkel areas in kona area. ... some kid friendly !
Or am I better off driving to kona from day 1? I'm gonna need a one way car rental from hilo to kona.
We also like the other touristy stuff that's usual in Hawaii. ... I'm the only diver in the group.
Please suggest if the lava pools are worth snorkeling.
Give other tips too!
Thx
Kris
