Adventures in Paradise Snorkeling Trips specializes in small group tours to the number one snorkeling & boating destination on the Big Island of Hawaii - Kealakekua Bay.  We are one of only four companies the State permitted to both launch at State of Hawaii Napo`opo`o Pier and land kayaks at Kealakekua Bay State Historical Park.  Following strict environmental, historic preservation, and  educational protocols of the State of Hawaii's DLNR, we also provide our certified lifeguards, CPR and first aid trained guides.  We are insured and founding members of the Kayak Alliance of the Islands who provide marine education to the public at Kealakekua Bay.      

• Snorkeling in Hawaii offers an experience not available in the Western United States or Canada.  The water here is warm, clear, and there is abundant life of all kinds: fish, coral reefs, & dolphins..  Our snorkel tours offer an esthetic and ecological way to enjoy all nature has to offer.  Guides offer local color and history on the trip.  Our typical guest ranges in age between 5 and 70 & for about half of them it is their first trip to the Monument.  With the help of your guide the tour is easy for the novice and expert alike.
• Equipment:  we use sit-on-top kayaks: boats.  Stable and easy to enter and exit these boats are ideally suited for ocean paddling.  We also include on tours quality mask, snorkel and fins.  Wetsuits and prescription masks are available at no extra charge... just ask. Snorkeling is incredible at Capt. Cook Monument!   If spinner dolphins are seen - we will maintain a proper distance to insure we don't disturb them & this fragile ecosystem. The weather  in Kailua-Kona & Kohala is warm, sunny, & clear.  A hat shirt & sunblock are important sun protection here.
• Marine mammals commonly seen on our trips include: Hawaiian spinner dolphins, sea turtles, and humpback whales (seasonal).  We occasionally see Hawaiian monk seals at Kealakekua Bay.  The conditions are typically better in the morning with more sun and less wind and wave chop.  Snorkeling is incredible at Capt Cook Monument.
