Description:

Embark on a half-day snorkeling trip to 3 different locations complete with sea caves, lava tubes, and some of Hawaii's calmest waters. With accompaniment from a US Coast Guard-licensed Captain, have up-close encounters with rainbow fish, nai'a (dolphins), and honu (sea turtles).

Off the south shores of Kona, embark on a 35-mile (56 km) roundtrip journey and be sure to keep an eye out for lively nai'a (dolphin) swimming alongside the boat. The small raft-boat tour allows you to cruise through sea caves and along cliffs, blowholes, cinder cones, and lava tubes. Learn local legends and Hawaiian marine trivia from your knowledgeable captain and view striking landmarks from the best seat in the house.

Arrive at the Kealakekua Bay, a Marine Life Conservation District, and learn the historic significance of the nearby Captain Cook Monument. Explore the coral reef wall, dropping dramatically from 10 feet (3 m) to 130 feet (40 m). Meet a vast array of marine life, including turtles, clown fish, vibrant reefs and octopus.

Ride along the flat lava rocks of Honaunau Bay (Place of Refuge) and hop into the warm Hawaiian water to explore an underwater world of tropical fish. The third snorkel location is kept secret until you're on the boat—you won't be disappointed. Before the return to Kona, bask in the sun's warmth and enjoy a deli-lunch, tropical snacks, and drinks.
