Afternoon Kealakekua Snorkel Tour

Overview

Experience the beauty of the Kona Coast at picturesque Kealakekua Bay on an afternoon snorkel cruise. With equipment onboard and expert instruction available, the Kealakekua Bay Snorkel Cruise is great for the whole family.

The waters off the Kona Coast, from Keauhou to Kealakekua Bay, enjoy some of the calmest water conditions throughout the day in Hawai’i - protected from stronger easterly winds by Hualalai Mountain. As we head south, Kealakekua Bay’s waters offer some of the best visibility in the entire state and a wealth of tropical reefs to explore. We provide guidance, snorkel gear, flotation devices, and also have a high dive and two 15 foot water slides so that you can enjoy this fantastic site to its max for the afternoon!

The snorkeling was wonderful. Having dolphins follow you in the boat was real neat and getting a photo of Captain Cook's monument was a pleasant surprise.

Ok so this was great! We even did manta snorkeling this week and this was still almost better! We went with my parents and twin 6 year olds. My mom loved it so much! My dad couldn’t snorkel very much due to health and I could tell he was bummed the entire time. Me and my husband had a great time with the kids.we saw dolphins jumping and playing in the water, a lot of the time they even were swimming right near our boat! It was surreal! My kids were both in good life jackets and had floats that we could hold on to while him and I were able to snorkel. My kids are not qualified swimmers but felt fine in the water. But this is the ocean! Not just the pool! We both wore the life belts to make it easier for us to push them. Both my kids even went down the water slide! My husband waited at the bottom for them to help them up. What I really loved was there were plenty of folks there to help with life jackets and floats and whatever you needed. The captain was great, I felt like the jokes were like being on the jungle cruise. There were a few employees in the water to keep an eye out on safety. My son is a wise cracker and they loved it. The snorkeling was beautiful! I know if it were just me and my husband it would have been a lot more relaxing but I’m so glad we took the littles as well. I would just say eat before hand. You have a 50 minute ride before snorkeling and then maybe bring a snack during. Again I have two 6 year olds and they loved it and we were so proud of how they did and thank you to the crew for being so much fun to them!!

Captain Chris & the crew were wonderful. We took our daughter, son-in-law, and 3 grandsons (ages 2, 4 & 6). We all had a great time. We saw needlefish, trevally, an eel, and many other small fish while snorkeling. From the boat, we saw pods of spinner dolphins and a hammerhead shark!!! We will definitely do this outing again when we come back to Kona.
