Expedition South Kona

Overview

See parts of the Island most residents of Hawaii never see! Explore further down the pristine South Kona Coast than any other snorkeling tour company and snorkel at 3 incredible locations including Kealakekua Bay, the culturally significant Pu’uhonua O Honaunau, and a third remote location inaccessible any other way. Perhaps you’ll snorkel at a black sand beach and have it all to yourselves. Maybe a stone arch or a spectacular lava rock formation created thousands of years ago.

Explore sea caves and lava tubes in our safe, exciting, and maneuverable custom vessels designed to get you up close and personal with the coast. Scout for marine life such as pilot whales as long as your boat, Hawaiian spinner dolphins, green sea turtles, and more.

Lunch is provided, as are snacks, water & juice throughout the day. All the snorkeling gear and flotation devices you need as well. You simply show up in your swimsuit with your reef-safe sunscreen and towel in hand and away we go!

It was a wonderful experience. With a small group of people on the Zodiac boat with the friendly and helpful captain. On the way to snorkel four humpback whales spotted. In the bay near the Captain Cook monument is beautiful snorkeling, beautiful coral, lots of fish and clear water. Ideal! On the way back we were accompanied by a whole pride of dolphins. Also seen beautiful caves along the lava coast. Definitely recommended!
