We came to Hawaii to reach my goal of 50 states in 1 year and our week adventuring has shown us just how beautiful the 50th state is!

Today is our big adventure day. We rented kayaks for just $60 and have the whole day to scuba dive the Captain Cook Monument. The Captain Cook Monument is only accesable by boat. There were only a few other kayaks and private boats while we were there. I have to say getting in and out of the kayak in open water was just as interesting 😅

We ended the night at dinner in Kona watching the sun set and of course shave ice!

Kayak Rental- Bay Side Adventures- Equipment only, no training or tour guides.

Food: Coffee Shack- Great full sit down or to go breakfast option.
Poke- Honaunau Poke Shop- Laid back poke that was so good. Great place to try it!
Sunset Dinner- Fosters Kitchen- great place for a drink and appetizer, not the best dinner, but they do have small plates (like the steak) under $20

I use the Native Lands website and App to learn the history of people native to the areas that are now national parks. This is a great place to learn more about the people of America and this history of where you live. https://native-land.ca/

I started my full time travel journey at the start of 2020 when I quit my job. My plan was to travel the world, but my timing was horrible. I decided to stay closer to home and explore the US. That decision promopted me to build out my Ford Transit van and travel to 50 National Parks and I'm currently working on all 50 states. My goal is to get to all 50 states within a single year! Thanks for joining me along the way!
