"On the Kona-Kohala coast the resort’s King’s Pond functions as a semi-natural marine reserve—1.8 million gallons of brackish water home to thousands of fish and a resident spotted eagle ray named Kainalu—carved from lava rock with a sandy bottom so guests can swim among marine life. The property supports marine education with five resident marine biologists who lead daily fish feedings, junior marine biologist experiences, family canoe rides and snorkel safaris." - Kathryn Romeyn, Nicholas DeRenzo
