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!

We had the best snorkeling trip to captain Cook monument. We loved being in a smaller boat. Captain Chad was so knowledgeable and showed us Cliff divers, a humpback whale and marlins feeding. We have been on larger ship that was so much more impersonal and twice the price.

Low-key, thorough instruction and fitting of snorkel gear for small group prior to informative trip to snorkel area. Emphasis on safety, preservation of reef and geological and cultural history of area. Snorkeling site provided abundant coral formations and underwater wildlife. Snacks provided were excellent. Entire experience was laid-back and very enjoyable with friendly staff. Calm and supportive assistance for less confident clients was much appreciated.

The check-in process was easy. The lady who helped us fit our crew was precise and friendly. Captain Chad was fantastic! He was entertaining, knowledgeable and all with a great personality. We felt quite safe on the boat with him at the helm.
