Snorkel and whale-watch in historic Kealakekua Bay from Kona on a comfortable power catamaran, with lunch and gear included.
“Great time, great staff, beautiful snorkeling. We were impressed with the efficiency and accommodations of the staff!”
Sunset catamaran dinner to Kealakekua Bay from Kona with a local historian, live Hawaiian music, pupus, dinner, dessert, and ocean wildlife.
“Great tour. 12 hours goes fast. Dave was a great guide- such a volume of information. Many stops - shopping opps at coffee and bakery stops. Glad we brought layers (December) as got little unlucky with rain on volcano stop and east side of island (pretty typical honestly). Lunch was good. 1.3 hours goes fast drive home nice for nap time.”
A luxury catamaran half-day in Kailua-Kona with snorkeling gear, dolphin chances, two hours in the water, and island-style breakfast and BBQ lunch.
“If you are looking to snorkel and see dolphins along the way and depending on the time of year, see whales, this is the trip for you! The crew was amazing and the 4 hours was well worth the money!!”
Night manta ray snorkeling off Kailua-Kona, with wetsuit top, snacks, and a chance to swim inches from gentle giants.
“The snorkelling was brilliant! The crew and skipper were highly skilled and knowledgeable. They were fun and attentive to everyone’s needs. They even waited with me after the event until my uber arrived. I was most impressed.”
Every kind of day out, and the best of each.
