Hawaii Historical Sunset Dinner Cruise Tour Features

Wasabi Tours Hawaii Historic Kona And Farm Tour Kealakekua Bay

Kealakekua Bay

Kealakekua Bay holds a very pivotal place in the history of Hawaii. It is the site of the first contact Hawaiians had with Westerners, specifically with Captain Cook back in 1779. In addition to that Kealakekua Bay is home to a sacred heiau (temple) called Hikiau; this heiau was said to hold a variety of ceremonies and traditional Hawaiian religious practices. Due to its sacredness, the heiau is kapu (forbidden). In addition to the Heiau, is the shore/beach that the bay encompasses. This beach is called Nāpō’opo’o, which is now covered by boulders due to storm surf instead of the sandy beaches you are used to seeing. Overall, Kealakekua Bay is a sight and history to behold.

Captain Cook Monument

The first westerner to make contact with Hawaii was Captain Cook! When Captain Cook arrived, the ship's white sails gave Native Hawaiians the impression he was the god “Lono,” so he was met with respect and reverence. However, Captain Cook was just a human with lighter skin than they have ever seen. Cook was known for his hostility and conqueror mindset towards indigenous peoples, which ultimately led to his death by native Hawaiians. The controversial monument in the Bay is said to mark where he was killed.

Will I Get Seasick?

The bigger the boat, the more stable it is. Our vessel is 65′ in length with a 30′ beam and the largest boat of its kind on the Kona Coast. It’s a totally different experience than being on a smaller boat or a raft. If you know you are prone to sea sickness, we recommend you take Bonine or Dramamine the night before and one several hours before your cruise. Please read directions to see that you can take this medication. We carry this on board however, it is best to have it in your system prior to boarding. You are more likely to feel better on the lower deck of the vessel as there is less pitch. We also offer complimentary Ginger pills and a Ginger drink which is great for motion sickness and it’s all natural.
What Should I Wear?

We recommend closed-toe shoes with a non-skid bottom. Bring a light jacket or sweater too as the evening can be cool
