Kapoho Bay Though not at all a typical tourist center, there are alot of things to do. The Bay is great for kayaking, surfing, snorkling and has excellent shore fishing. There is a walking trail along the ocean. Dramatically beautiful with many safe and easy accesses to the bay and ponds, this area has NO traditional white sandy beaches.	Venturing beyond Kapoho Bay Just a 50 minute drive from Hawaii Volcanoes National Park offers amazing adventure. Get the latest up-to-date information from the USGS on how and where the lava is flowing.

A few minutes away....... The Champagne Pond is a treasure of Kapoho Bay and just down the block. It is geothermally heated fresh water mixing with the open ocean and numerous tropical fish and green sea turtles come in and out with the tides. The water is calm, clear and about 87 degrees, perfect for snorkeling, swimming and relaxing. Be sure and bring one of those inexpenseive disposible underwater cameras if you want photos of the sea turtles.
Kapoho Tide Pools All of the pools are interconnected and can easily be snorkeled from on to the other depending on the tides. Easy for a novice snorkeler as the area is protected from the normal size waves. Many fish and variety of corals to see.
		Downtown Pahoa Eight miles away, the quaint town of Pahoa has a number of surprisingly good restaurants, a big health food store, grocery store, a 7-11, beautiful gift shops, 2 banks and local entertainment. On Sundays there is a good Farmers' Market-Swap Meet offering a wide variety of fresh and prepared foods, crafts, imports and antiques.
