Sea Kayaking with the Dolphins

This was probably one of my favorite activities. The day that we were leaving Hawaii to go back home, Chase and I got up early and went down to our tried and true beach in downtown Kona. It really was a great beach. It was perfect for the kids, had the best beach snorkeling that Brian had seen before (he would know!), AND had a little hut that you could rent equipment from. Courtney and Chase rented a stand up paddle board on day 1. On Day 2 at the same beach, Chase and I rented a stand up paddle board. Chase was brave! Pictures of that to come! Then on the last day, Chase and I rented a sea kayak and went on a search for dolphins.

We had been out for awhile and we were pretty far away from the shore. I was a little nervous. We had turned around to head back towards the shore when the dolphins came up out of no where! They stayed around us the whole time. I would say that we got to kayak with the dolphins for about 30 minutes. At one point in time they were right under our kayak! We didn't see any jump out of the water too much, but they were still awesome. Here are a couple of videos! The second one is definitely the best!
