Overview

If you are new to or have never snorkeled before, this is the ideal choice! Particularly good for families with younger children or swimmers who aren’t certain if they are “sea worthy” enough for one of our longer trips.

This trip is much slower-paced and affords guests time to become more familiar and comfortable with the exciting and beautiful sport of snorkeling. Our crew will be happy to help you adjust your mask, fins and snorkel and help you become comfortable viewing the tropical fish while using a flotation assistance device we call a “noodle”. You'll even watch for dolphins and whales along the way!

What's included

  • Non-Alcoholic Beverages and Bottled Water
  • Sightseeing along coast of sea caves & lava tubes
  • Historical narration of Captain Cook's fate at Kealakekua Bay
  • Flotation Aids
  • Please bring towel, reef safe sunscreen (zinc based is recommended. lotion, no spray) and cover-up
  • Gratuities

What to expect

We offer a morning snorkel to Captain Cook’s Monument. Check-In for this adventure is 8:00am and returns at 11:30 am for a more relaxed adventure to the best snorkel spot along the coast, Kealakekua Bay!

Kealakekua Bay is home to the famous Captain Cook's monument and is a well-known historical site and underwater marine sanctuary. The large bay is situated so as to ensure calm (lake-like) waters year-round. You will see hundreds of different varieties of tropical fish, and maybe an occasional “Honu” (Hawaiian green sea turtle) or reef shark.

This adventure provides guests with snorkeling, as well as cultural, and environmental information relevant to the island of Hawai’i and its history. Along with the snorkeling and history your captain will show you several spectacular, unique volcanic geological phenomena including sea caves and lava tubes.

Don't miss an opportunity to see Kona's top rated snorkel spot and don't forget your camera!
