If swimming is just not enough ocean fun for you, try some of the many water sports available in Kona.

Kayaking: Fun for young and old alike, kayaking can lead you to unique snorkeling and swimming spots or give you a tour of the coast line at your own pace.  Go on a guided trip, or venture out on your own.  Single and double seaters available.

Jet Skiing: If speed, power, and sea spray is your thing, then jet skiing is right up your alley. 

Parasailing: Want to try something totally different?  How about a combo of sailing and parachuting?  Sailing up to 500 ft above the water, parasailing is definitely an out of the ordinary experience.  

Bodyboarding/Boogie Boarding: Great for riding waves on shore and less cumbersome than surfboards, bodyboards make for great ocean entertainment. Rent boards by day or week from numerous locations in down-town Kona or buy your own at Wal-Mart, K-Mart, or Target. 

Surfing: Learn the original sport of the Hawaiians, or talk to the guys at the surf shops and check out Big Island's local breaks for yourself.
