Ahead, the Kona coastline unspools: lava-scarred cliffs softened by ironwood and lehua, black rock meeting Pacific glass. On the horizon, the pale silhouette of the Captain Cook Monument marks Kealakekua Bay, a place of history and frequent marine life, and your captain’s voice threads stories about the islands as the engine hums steady.
