Our destination is Kealakekua Bay Marine Preserve and the site of the Captain Cook Monument. This area is one of Hawaii’s premier snorkel spots with incredible visibility and calm conditions. All snorkel gear, high quality silicone masks, Rx masks, fins, float boards or vests and detailed instruction are included. Kealakekua Bay is full of Hawaiian history and the events will be recounted by the crew while you enjoy our tropical snack of fresh pineapple and fruit, chips, cookies and assortment of refreshing soft drinks.
Our captains are experts at spotting pods of dolphins, humpback whales and other marine mammals and Zodiac rafts are the best way to see them. Get ready for close up views of the sea caves, lava tubes, blowholes and archways as you explore the rugged coastline. Learn about the geology that continues to form of the islands.
Zodiac Hurricane RHIB’s are fast and highly maneuverable so we can give you an exciting ride. This is our original tour that we have run for over 30 years, so hold on tight for the adventure of a lifetime!
