Experience the beauty of the Kona Coast aboard the Spirit of Aloha, a spacious 54-foot sailing catamaran, on this Kona turtle snorkel sail with lunch departing from Honokohau Harbor. As you glide along Hawaii Island's west coast, dramatic lava rock cliffs and bands of turquoise water create a striking backdrop for one of the most memorable things to do in Kona.

With shaded seating, open deck space, and uninterrupted coastal views, the Spirit of Aloha offers an easygoing setting to unwind between sail and sea.

As you cruise along the coast, keep an eye out for spinner dolphins often seen year-round and breaching humpback whales during the winter months, adding an extra layer of excitement to this relaxed Kona snorkel sail.
