Description

Join a small-group morning tour that combines wildlife watching with world-class snorkeling along the Kona Coast. Set out in search of dolphins, whales (seasonal), and other native marine life, observing them from the boat in their natural habitat. This eco-conscious tour follows Hawaii state regulations, which prohibit swimming with dolphins, ensuring a respectful and responsible experience.

The adventure continues with guided snorkeling at two of the island’s most iconic historical marine sites: Kealakekua Bay, home to the Captain Cook Monument, and Pu?uhonua o Honaunau, also known as the "Place of Refuge." Both locations offer vibrant coral reefs teeming with tropical fish. Light refreshments, including a fresh fruit platter and chips, are provided onboard for a comfortable, scenic journey.

Please Note:
A Hawaii state law to protect dolphins now bans swimming with dolphins.
