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.

Capt. Chad and Jessi were amazing with our family. Private small group tour was the best! Really. Cool knowledge of the coastline. Would recommend to anyone.

Thank you for the feedback, and we're glad you enjoyed our staff, the knowledge they presented, and our small-group private experience. Kealakekua Bay is a beautiful marine sanctuary that can be very crowded, so it's best to check out the bay with a smaller tour group.

Very informative tour with Bob and Karla. Friendly, cheerful, helpful. Safe and quiet place for snorkeling, also very suitable for beginners.
