Kealakekua Bay Small-Group Snorkel Experience from Kailua-Kona

Kealakekua Bay Small-Group Snorkel Experience from Kailua-Kona

Overview

We cruise from Keauhou harbor out into crystal clear blue waters. While the boat is underway, the crew will point out interesting features along the Kona coastline, which is rich in Hawaiian history. South Kona has a bevy of historically significant Hawaiian Heritage sites, full of mana (spiritual power). Staying close to the Kona coast as we travel south towards Kealakekua Bay, we watch closely for any interesting marine life.

We may stop the boat to enjoy the Hawaiian Spinner Dolphins (Stenella longirostris) putting on a show. Hawaiian Spinner Dolphins rest close to shore during the day and will sometimes interact with the boat, bow-riding and playing in our wake.

After a brief show from the Hawaiian Spinner Dolphins, Humpback whales, and whatever else of interest is found along our way, we arrive at the world-famous Kealakekua Bay, the site of the Captain James Cook monument.

After snorkeling in Kealakekua Bay for about an hour and a half, we start heading back to the harbor.

Our guides were wonderful and personable! The smaller sized group provided a more enhanced snorkeling experience as they were able to give great tips on how to best see the fish and have them come to us. Loved it!

We had a wonderful snorkeling trip to Kealakekua Bay in Kona. The crew did an excellent job of balancing professionalism and concern for our safety with maximizing our ability to enjoy the area and its history. We definitely recommend them!

Our 8 AM tour was canceled due to low bookings. Really? At least we received notice 11 hours before, unlike others that posted poor reviews. Highly recommend using a different company. We got a snorkel with someone else on short notice, thankfully. We were offered a refund but it hasn’t come yet.
