Prince Kuhio is a small park, but 'big' diving awaits you!. The entry is a little rocky, but easy, and you may find a turtle or two in the shallow protected area. Shallow beginning through advanced snorkeling. A little shallow for scuba. Rocky entry, but very protected bay. Turtles are the highlight. 3-21 feet. Directly across from the Prince Kuhio Park.

Directions: From Lihu'i heading West on Highway 50, turn left on Highway 520 (Maluhia Road) at mile mark 6.8. After about 3 miles, you'll hit a T in the road at Koloa. Jog right and then an immediate left onto Po'ipu Road, and head South to Po'ipu. At about mile 4.8, take the RIGHT fork and head West. After about a quarter of a mile, you will arrive!

Prince Kuhio Park

We stayed right at the condo in the picture.  Saw lots of turtles and they were very photo friendly, sometimes as many as 6 turtles at a time.  Not much for fish, and no other swimmers or divers usually.  This is very close to Sheraton Caves and I wish we would have made the swim out to that spot too.  You could tell where the caves were by where the dive boats anchored.  Best snorkeling at Kuhio was to the right after you entered the water.  Best place we were at for the turtles.  Did a night snorkel but only saw 1 fish and no turtles.  BTW - the condo was nice, clean, reasonable, quiet, fully furnished. Get a ground floor on the ocean side....nice.
