If you happen to be a huge sea turtle fan like me (my first love was the Loggerhead on Bald Head Island) then you will enjoy seeing the Green Turtle on the beaches near Kona. We stayed at the Four Seasons on the big island and one of the staff members told us that the best place to see these creatures on the resort property is near Kings Pond (a saltwater pool with many species of fish). We were lucky enough to see three during our stay. LINK COLOR
We had an even better spotting of these wonderful creatures after our trip out on the sailboat to see the Humpbacks. We then drove around the harbor and went to the Kaloko-Honokohau National Historic Park. The beaches there are beyond gorgeous and I wish I would have brought my snorkel gear!
The turtles bask on the lava rock and look like dry stones. They especially like shallow lagoons. While walking on the beach you can wander out into the water up to your shins and see turtles chilling in the sun.
