Summary

For those who want to sleep in a bit, we offer an afternoon trip to snorkel at Captain Cook’s Monument. Check-In for this adventure is 12:15 PM for a more relaxed adventure to the best snorkel spot along the coast, Kealakekua Bay! Kealakekua Bay is home to the famous Captain Cook's monument and is a well-known historical site and underwater marine sanctuary. The large bay is situated so as to ensure calm (lake-like) waters year-round. You will see hundreds of different varieties of tropical fish, and maybe an occasional “Honu” (Hawaiian green sea turtle) or reef shark. This adventure provides guests with snorkeling, as well as cultural, and environmental information relevant to the island of Hawai’i and its history. Along with the snorkeling and history, your captain will show you several spectacular, unique volcanic geological phenomena including sea caves and lava tubes. So sleep in, grab a cup of joe, some brunch, and then join us for a fun afternoon on the water. Don't forget your camera!

Why take this tour?

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!

What’s included?

Sightseeing along coast of sea caves & lava tubes
