Four mile roundtrip hike down to the monument. Best snorkeling on the island is here and we recommend going early to avoid the crowds coming in on boats. Trek down is quick and good hiking shoes are highly recommended. Lots of water as the trek back up is a good elevation climb with not a lot of cover. Great way to start your day!
