The Northern Conway's: Hawaii day 3

Monday morning we checked out of the Royal Kona Resort and started on our Journey around the Big Island. We headed South which was beautiful! It went from thick beautiful Palm trees to farm land.

Our first stop was Miloli'i Beach park. This was the perfect beach for Lance to really get the hang of snorkeling. The reef blocked the waves and created perfect little calm tide pools that were tons of fun to explore.

We caught some crabs, looked at sea urchins and swam a little bit before making our way down to Honomalino Bay. Honomalino is about a mile and a half hike from Miloli'i bay through coconut trees and over lava rocks. It's a little challenging at times, but definitely Worth it. Both sides of the trail is marked with no trespassing signs and there is even a few graves.

It's definitely interesting. It's a beautiful secluded beach with dark grey almost black sand that is perfect for boogie boarding, snorkeling and swimming.

The hike back was a little more challenging. The kids were so tired. We took our time and didn't rush the kids. I carried Lexie a good portion of the way which is no easy feet since she weighs almost 50 pounds. She was too pooped to walk. It didn't take just a few minutes in the car and the kids were out.

Our next stop was Kalae which is also called South Point. Kalae is the southern most spot in the United States. It is very windy there!! But absolutely breathtaking.

While we were there a few guys the nerve up to jump off the 40+ foot cliff into the ocean. One guy yelled out "ouch" after jumping in.

We stopped at a small little coffee place to grab a snack and buy my dad some coffee. It was a super cute place with a little play area for the kids (who were just waking up from a long nap).
