Puako is considered by some to be the heaven of the Kohala Coast with lava tubes, garden eels, fish and turtles. What more could you ask for?! After making the turn off to Puako, travel 2.1 miles until you see the Church of Ascension on your left. Water shoes are highly recommended.

Directions: The turn off to Puako is on Highway19 about 3.4 miles South of the junction of 270 and 19. Continue down Puako Road for 2.1 miles.

5/2003 We were surrounded by sea turtles - like our own National Geographic movie!  Best snorkling we did on the big island was here. Need to be careful to leave a marker on shore you can see from the water because it is easy to lose your entry/exit site. Can't wait to get back 1/2004.
