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.

The 7am snorkel was cancelled at 8pm the night before. So disappointing. Only 2 of us so it wasn’t worth their time. Fortunately we were able to get an afternoon snorkel with Paradise snorkel.

Highly Recommend! We had a amazing time. Crew was fantastic! Small groups made it fun and more time in the water. 100s of sea life to see!
