Awesome experience. The crew was professional, fun and helpful. We met amazing people. The snorkeling was lovely and not overly crowded.
Embark on a one-of-a-kind journey for adventure seekers eager to explore the pristine waters of the South Kona Coast. What makes this snorkeling tour unique is not only our commitment to sustainability—from biodiesel-powered boats to composting waste and eliminating single-use plastics—but also the breathtaking destinations we visit. Snorkel at two, world-class sites, including the iconic Kealakekua Bay and an exclusive, crowd-free location featuring dramatic underwater lava formations and arches. Glide through crystal-clear waters teeming with tropical fish, vibrant coral reefs, and occasional encounters with dolphins or manta rays. Along the way, soak in the rich history and rugged beauty of the Kona Coast, where lava cliffs and sea caves tell the story of Hawai‘i’s volcanic past. With top-tier snorkeling gear, a knowledgeable crew, and a thoughtfully crafted plant-based menu, this tour blends adventure, sustainability, and culture for an unforgettable experience.

Rob’s Reef – A definite favorite with its amazing underwater sea arches and sea caves in the Pali (cliff). Amidst the colorful array of fish and marine life located here, snorkelers may find a unique school of Pyramid Butterflyfish – which are usually only seen in deeper waters. Turtle Rock – As the name suggests, this area is frequented by Green Sea Turtles. The vibrant coral and black sand together in this area create a beautiful contrast. There are also several rock islands and ridges extending below and above the water. Nearby is Lepeamoa, a large rock formation resembling a rooster’s comb.Duration: 1 hourStop At: The Captain Cook MonumentKealakekua Bay, Captain Cook, HawaiiWEATHER DEPENDING - This large red volcanic cone is named for the type of cinder which it produced.

This was one of the best snorkeling trips we’ve had. The captain was knowledgeable and very funny, the crew was great and the food was amazing. I’d give it 10 stars if I could! Highly recommend.
