Why We Love This Unique Experience

Hawaii Experience Gifts: Snorkel in the pristine marine environment of Kealakekua Bay on this amazing boat tour to the site of the Captain Cook Monument.

Prepare to be amazed by the richness of life beneath the water in Hawaii on this unforgettable snorkelling trip. Grab a spot on the sun-soaked deck and cruise through azure ocean along the Kona coast, tucking into fresh fruit and drinks as you go. You can expect to see Hawaiian spinner dolphins riding in the wake, and humpback whales breaching if you’re lucky! Arriving in beautiful Kealakekua Bay, don your snorkelling gear and get ready to swim with schools of yellow tang, brightly coloured parrot fish, and reef triggerfish over neon corals - it’s like swimming in a real-life aquarium! The highlight, though, is the bright white obelisk marking the site where Captain Cook was killed in 1779. The boat is one of very few that are permitted to enter the protected park, so it’s totally unspoilt and there are no crowds to be seen. Enjoy an hour and a half in the water, before sailing back to Keauhou Harbor with the wind in your hair and the most amazing memories.

This incredible snorkelling trip would make the ideal gift for anybody who loves nature, sea views and being in the ocean.

Experience Overview:

Snorkel Trip To Captain Cook Monument In Kealakekua Bay

Experience the incredibly clear waters of Kealakekua Bay, Hawaii's most famous protected marine sanctuary, in one of our most popular tours!

We cruise from Keauhou harbor out into crystal clear blue waters. While the boat is underway, the crew will point out interesting features along the Kona coastline, which is rich in Hawaiian history. South Kona has a bevy of historically significant Hawaiian Heritage sites, full of mana (spiritual power). Staying close to the Kona coast as we travel south towards Kealakekua Bay, we watch closely for any interesting marine life.

We may stop the boat to enjoy the Hawaiian Spinner Dolphins (Stenella longirostris) putting on a show. Hawaiian Spinner Dolphins rest close to shore during the day and will sometimes interact with the boat, bowriding and playing in our wake.

After a brief show from the Hawaiian Spinner Dolphins, Humpback whales and whatever else of interest is found along our way, we arrive at the world famous Kealakekua Bay, the site of the Captain James Cook monument.

After snorkeling in Kealakekua Bay for about an hour and a half, we start heading back to the harbor while keeping an eye out for more exciting marine life we may encounter on the way home.
