Turtle Pinnacle

★★★★☆ (218)

Turtle Pinnacle is located just offshore on the northern part of the Kona side of the Big Island of Hawaii and is one of the best dive sites in all of the Hawaiian islands for its turtle cleaning station. Here, surgeonfish clean the turtles attracting lots of other marine life as well.

Encounters here include TONS of turtles and schools of surgeonfish. Manta rays also frequent this site, especially at night as they are attracted to the hotel lights.
