Snorkel Tour to Captain Cook Monument Kailua-Kona, Big Island

Snorkel Tour to Captain Cook Monument Kailua-Kona, Big Island

Overview

If you are new to or have never snorkeled before this is the ideal choice! Particularly good for families with younger children or swimmers who aren’t certain if they are “seaworthy” enough for one of our longer trips.

This trip is much slower-paced and affords guests time to become more familiar and comfortable with the exciting and beautiful sport of snorkeling. Our crew will be happy to help you adjust your mask, fins, and snorkel and help you become comfortable viewing the tropical fish while using a flotation assistance device we call a “noodle”. You'll even watch for dolphins and whales along the way!

The snorkeling was the best I have ever experienced. I am timid in water so requested extra help (life preserver and extra noodle). Bethany was very patient and kindly accommodated me. My husband is an experienced diver and enjoyed the many species of fish sited. Kai our driver was very knowledgeable about our tour sites and Hawaiian history. Both made our experience delightful and fun. It definitely shows how much they enjoy their jobs!!!

I think this location has better snorkeling than Maui. Beautiful coral reef with so many beautiful fish to observe. Loved the small group. Only four of us and the captain. Captain Patrick was fabulous. We did sight seeing from the boat to the monument and back. Boat ride was also fun. Boat ride probably isn’t for everyone but my dad and I sure enjoyed it!

We had a fantastic trip with Patrick. He gave us some history of the coast prior to stopping at the bay for snorkeling. We had an incredible time snorkeling and saw so many fish. The boat is large enough that even on a windy, wavy day, we didn’t have any issues. High recommend.
