Guided Kayak & Snorkel Tours

Kealakekua Bay & Capt. Cook Monument

Snorkeling in Hawaii offers a unique experience not generally available in the Western United States or Canada.  The water here is warm (77 F.), clear (typically 100’ visibility), and there is abundant life of all kinds:  tropical fish, coral reefs, & marine mammals. Our snorkel tours offer an esthetic and ecological way to access all that Nature has to offer in Hawaii. We recommend a guided tour to maximize your fun, ease and peace of mind.  Guided tours get you to the good snorkeling spots, marine mammals, provide drinks & snorkeling instruction.  Guides offer local color and history that will enhance your trip. 

Our typical snorkel and/or kayak tour guest ranges in age between 7 and 80 and for about half of our guests, it is their first       experience.  Through the help of your guide the tour is designed to be comfortable for the novice and effortless for the experienced - allowing you to focus on your Hawaiian experience.  We move at a relaxed pace, focusing on the scenery and marine mammals that may come our way. The physical output is low - similar to walking/hiking - so you don't have to be an athlete to participate.

Equipment:   We use open-deck kayaks: boats uniquely designed for your enjoyment in Hawaiian waters. Stable and easy to enter and exit, these boats are ideally suited for ocean paddling and snorkeling.  Closed decked kayaks are not suitable for easy entry and exit from the Napoopoo Pier or landing at Awili Landing – our destination at Kealakekua Bay.  We also include on our tours:  quality mask, snorkel and fins at no extra charge.  Anyone who tends to get cold, may also wish to request a wetsuit for the trip (no extra charge). 

Marine Mammals commonly seen on our trips include: Hawaiian spinner dolphins, sea turtles, and humpback whales (winter).   The conditions are typically better in the morning with more sun and less wind.  Snorkeling is incredible at Capt. Cook Monument!  Brightly colored tropical fish will delight you, and the water is warm. Occasionally an endangered green sea turtle or spinner dolphin is encountered - we will maintain a proper distance from the marine life to insure we do not disturb them and this fragile ecosystem.

The weather  in Kailua-Kona & Kohala (West Hawaii) is warm, sunny, and clear.  A  hat, shirt, and waterproof sun-block are important sun protection. It's typically about 75-85 degrees year-round with high UV.
