Great experience. The crew was amazing. There were two bathrooms onboard, big enough to change in. Very roomy and clean. Snacks, sodas and water are provided. Snorkeling was fun. Lots of fish to see.

A three hour tour you won't want to miss! Set Sail down the Majestic Kona Coastline with breathtaking views of landscaped ledges of ancient lava flows. As you arrive at the "World Famous Captain Cook Monument" your snorkeling adventure will begin in the turquoise waters and vibrant reef of the marine sanctuary of Kealakekua Bay. Make sure to bring an underwater camera to capture the colorful schools of fish, pods of spinner dolphins that are also commonly spotted in the bay. “Hawaii The Big Island Revealed” guide book says, “snorkeling in Kealakekua Bay near the monument is perhaps the best you will find anywhere in the state”.

The 3 girl crew was awesome. Very informative and fun. They made even the newbies feel comfortable to be willing to try.

My husband and I came to the Big Island for our babymoon. We normally love to scuba dive, but couldn’t (for obvious reasons), so we decided to snorkel instead! After researching different groups, we decided on the afternoon sail and snorkel, and I’m so glad we did! It was a beautiful, smooth ride to our snorkel spot, and they offered fresh fruit and drinks to everyone. They also provided reef safe sunscreen! (Apparently the “reef safe” Beach Bum kind I ordered on Amazon is actually not reef safe unfortunately…) They were so nice with me being pregnant, and even involved our little guy in a cultural experience before getting in the water! We had the perfect amount of time to swim and saw lots of beautiful fish! On the way back, we had chips and drinks and enjoyed laying in the net at the front of the boat. Our guides were so helpful and patient as several people had never snorkeled before. They carefully explained everything to them. I couldn’t recommend this tour more! If you’re looking for a snorkel tour in the Kona area, look no further!

We really enjoyed our afternoon sail & snorkel tour. Our snorkeling experience is limited and the crew from Sea Paradise were so helpful and made it a memorable experience for us. The crew provided safety and educational briefings and we felt very comfortable by the time we entered the water. Of the three hours, we snorkeled for almost an hour at the reef near the Captain Cook monument and it was fascinating to see the many varieties of fish. We were surprised how fast the snorkeling time went, but it seemed just the right to see all that we wanted. If you're very experienced and want extensive snorkeling time, this might not be a good cruise for you. However, it was perfect for us.
