Captain Cook Exclusive

Overview

With the world-renowned and historic destination of Kealakekua Bay just minutes from our point of departure, the Captain Cook Exclusive is a personal, exciting, and efficient way to see the Bay named one of the world’s best snorkeling locations. Kealakekua Bay is a 315-acre marine sanctuary that boasts incredibly protected waters year round making it the best place in Hawaii for beginning snorkelers.

After a full hour of snorkeling in the crystal clear waters directly in front of the monument to Captain James Cook, you make your way back to Keauhou Bay along the South Kona coastline. Your Captain maneuvers our custom-made vessels into the sea caves at the base of Hualalai, hugging the coast and detailing the culturally significant and geologically fascinating features along the way. Watch for dolphins, whales, sea turtles, and even herds of thousands of goats! If you plan on snorkeling while in Hawaii and want to see what few do, this is the tour for you.

Our guides, Michael, Skylar and Diana were very welcoming and pleasant. The snorkeling was absolutely perfect. Michael shared a lot of interesting information about the area.

Thanks to our guides Kevin and Kai for their knowledge and enthusiasm. They take you to one of the best spots for snorkeling at the Capt Cook monument. Calm, safe waters with tons of tropical fish. I also saw a sea turtle, moray eel and a sand shark. Also rode up next to a school of spinner dolphins. On the way back, we rode along the coast, riding right up to various huge lava tubes that look like caves...very cool.

My wife and I took the afternoon snorkeling tour yesterday. It was fantastic. I really didn't want it to end. The only bad thing is how do we top this?! Captain Hope and Kai were friendly, kind and knowledgeable. Since it was the afternoon it was much less crowded. If we are ever fortunate enough to come back we will absolutely do this again.
