Creator's Key Takeaways

It was fantastic.

It was just an amazing day. I mean, just beautiful.

It's really it's really nice. So, if you do ever go to to Kona, uh especially if you're you're you're on a tender and you go to the pier here, uh take a take a look uh to Ki Beach.

They're very again very refreshing after the the the walk back and everything. So, it's just the shave ice is is a big uh thumbs up for for just being refreshing and very tasty.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Visit Ki Beach in Kona for snorkeling; it's walkable from the port.
Use water shoes for the rocky areas at the beach.
Try the shave ice at Lani's near the port for a refreshing treat.
