Our first two days on the island of Hawaii (the Big Island) were spent in the Kona area exploring a handful of beautiful white sand beaches, eating delicious Hawaiian treats like shave ice, poke, and acai bowls, and going night snorkeling with manta rays, which is one of the coolest things we have ever done!
