ESCAPE INTO THE KONA COAST ON A BEAUTIFUL SNORKELING TOUR.


Your morning Big Island snorkeling tour begins with a sail down the beautiful Kona Coast on the Hokulani, our spacious 45-foot trimaran. We’ll stop in the pristine waters of world-famous Kealakekua Bay. This marine sanctuary is one of the best snorkeling spots in Hawaii, with clear blue waters and a vibrant reef to explore.


The Hokulani sets sail from Keauhou Bay at 8:30am. Keep a watchful eye out for Hawaiian Spinner Dolphins, Hawaiian Humpback Whales (seasonal Dec-April), and other marine life while you sail down the beautiful Kona Coast. As you enjoy your tropical style breakfast, entering Historic Kealakekua Bay, you will observe the World Famous Captain Cook Monument. (sail time approx. 45 min) Your snorkeling will begin in the pristine waters and the vibrant reef of the Marine Sanctuary of Kealakekua Bay. “Hawaii The Big Island Revealed” guide book says, “snorkeling in Kealakekua Bay near the monument is perhaps the best you will find anywhere in the state”. Make sure to bring an underwater camera to capture the colorful schools of fish, pods of spinner dolphins that are also commonly spotted in the bay, and the landscaped ledges of ancient lava flows. You will then have a moment for another breath taking view of the bay while you enjoy a sumptuous lunch with beverages. Exiting the bay we set sail for “Red Hill”(weather permitting). The Red Hill area is home to unique underwater lava formations such as archways and lava tubes, snorkel with schools of vibrant sea life. As your snorkel adventure comes to an end, we set sail back to Keauhou Bay by 1pm (approx..), with majestic memories of your Sea Paradise tour that will last a lifetime.

Your captain will select the best snorkeling sites in Kealakekua Bay, as our friendly and professional crewmembers provide site briefings and historical facts.
