ADVENTURES IN PARADISE 7:30AM MORNING KAYAK & SNORKEL - Capt Cook Monument

Join us on a 3.5 hour kayak and snorkel adventures starting at Napoopoo Pier at beautiful and historic Kealakekua Bay State Historical Park. We provide kayak gear and instruction and then help you launch your double kayak for the trip across the bay to our snorkeling spot at Awili Cove near the Captain Cook Monument. Along the way we oftentimes see Hawaiian Spinner Dolphins which we typically stop and watch with insights into their habitat and behavior. We provide exclusive state permits to land near the Captain Cook Monument which you will visit and snorkel from the pier. We provide snorkel gear and instruction and your guide will help you find the best spots to snorkel safely and see the myriad of tropical fish and coral gardens below. After snorkeling, we provide bottled water and snacks before heading back to our starting point. Join us for this popular and interesting adventure in paradise!

Paddlers age 10-65 are welcome, but be aware the paddle across the bay is 35 minutes of strenuous paddling & guides set a brisk pace. Kayakers frequently capsize & a significant physical effort is required to right the kayak and complete a push-up to reenter the kayak.

Paddle 30 minutes across the emerald green and cobalt blue waters of Kealakekua Bay.  As you paddle below 600' high cliffs in stable two person kayaks, look for spinner dolphins that playfully leap and spin.  Arrive at the calm waters of Ka'awaloa cove to snorkel and explore above coral gardens and  colorful tropical fish on this tour of Kealakekua Bay.  Splash in refreshing, crystal clear water and explore the underwater terrain for over an hour.  Enjoy stepping on British soil as we visit famous Capt. Cook Monument, enjoying the unique experience of landing at the Capt. Cook Monument and Kealakekua Bay State Historic Park.  Group sizes are capped at 12 people to ensure a personalized trip on this 3.5 hour adventure.
