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!

We offer several different times slots to fit your schedule. The times shown indicate the check in time. Tour duration includes time to checkin and receive gear. Snorkel participants must be confortable swimming.

Looking for more snorkel time? We also offer a Deluxe Snorkel Tour that includes snorkeling at two different reefs. Check out our other listings for more details.

Love the small boat experience! Snorkeling was great. Snacks were all yummy. I appreciated the Captain placed our safety as top priority. The views of the shoreline while we were traveling were picture perfect, and the Captain had local tidbits to share when we stopped at various points.

Captain Craig was great! He gave us a very personal tour along the sea caves and lava tubes in addition to snorkeling. He provided water, soda, chips, and fresh pineapple. Two things to be aware of: the check in site is about 1.5 miles from the dock which is an issue if you do not have a car; also, if you have neck or back issues, you sit on rubber pontoons in the boat and the ride is very rough.
