We offer three different times, each being 3 hours long. These trips provide the longest snorkel times at Kealakekua Bay with approximately an hour of snorkel time. This adventure promises views of 100’s of different varieties of tropical fish along with an occasional “Honu” (Hawaiian green sea turtle). Your Captain will share Hawaiian History and get you up and personal with sea caves and lava tubes. If you are new to or have never snorkeled before this is the ideal choice!
7:00 a.m.: Beats the crowds to Kealakekua Bay/Captain Cook Monument. We are often the first boat in the bay and guests get time to enjoy the reef with limited interruption.

12:30 p.m.: Geared for those who want to escape the crowds. This lazy afternoon snorkel is a more relaxed adventure to the best snorkel spot along the coast.
