Whale watch dolphin& Snorkel Cruise

 

Snorkeling in Hawaii offers a unique experience not generally available in the Western United States or Canada.  The water here is warm (78-80 F.), clear (typically 75-100’ visibility), and there is abundant life of all kinds:  tropical fish, coral reefs, & marine mammals. Our snorkel boat cruises offer an esthetic and ecological way to access all that nature has to offer in Hawaii.

 

We recommend a tour to maximize your fun, ease and peace of mind.  Guides know the good snorkeling spots, where to find marine mammals, provide drinks/snacks & snorkeling instruction.  Guides also offer local color and history that will enhance your trip.  Our typical guest ranges in age between 4 and 80.  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 - not details like how to find quality equipment, locate good snorkeling with lots of coral.

 

 

The Boat:

 

Our  boat is designed with your comfort in mind. , swim deck and ladder, sundeck, sunshade and cushioned seats make your cruise a comfortable one. 

 

We also include on our tours:  quality mask, snorkel and fins at no extra charge.  Anyone who gets cold, may also wish to request a wetsuit for the trip (no extra charge). 

 

Adventures &  Experiences:

 

Marine Mammals commonly seen on our trips include: Hawaiian spinner dolphins, sea turtles, and humpback whales (winter). 

Volcanoes nearby include: Kilauea, Hualalai, Kohala, Mauna Loa, & Mauna Kea. 

 

We recommend the morning tour if your schedule permits.  The conditions are typically better in the morning with more sun and less wind.  Afternoon trips are also available and a good alternative if your schedule does not permit the morning trip.

 

Snorkeling is incredible!  Brightly colored tropical fish will delight you, and the water is warm. Occasionally an endangered green sea turtle or spinner dolphin is encountered snorkeling - we will maintain a proper distance away 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 usually about 75-85 degrees year-round with high UV. 

If you get motion sickness (car, air or sea) please remember to get one of the over-the-counter sea sickness remedies like "less-drowsy Dramamine". Dramamine should be taken at least 1 1/2 - 2 hours before boarding time.
