About this activity

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 ultimate in a snorkeling cruise.

Overall, our snorkeling experience was much more than expected. The personable captain and crew ran a tight ship. They made sure we were enjoying our experience and we were safe. The crew explained the history around each diving site. The boat was only a year old and had the most up to day amenities.

Excellent day

Great crew very organized and professional. Ended up being sorry that their manta ray trip was sold out later that night.

Excellent! The best Kealakekua snorkel trip on the island!

As a local resident of 30+ years I’ve been on many of the trips that go to a Kealakekua Bay for snorkeling, this was hands-down the best experience I’ve had! The new boat is perfectly set up to accommodate dry storage and plenty of space for guests to spread out. The seating is comfortable and the step entries in/out of the water are really easy. Fresh washer showers at each exit are a nice option for rinsing off when coming out of the water. It was a pleasant surprise that this trip offers two different snorkeling spots instead of just Kealakekua Bay, so the contrast between an unprotected vs a protected marine sanctuary are really obvious, which I think is important for visitors to see and understand the impacts we have on coral and marine life. The food and drinks on the boat were tasty and good quality, I was very impressed. The thing I liked best about the trip was the captain and crew - they were top notch! Everyone was professional and fun, they made guests feel safe and gave top-level service, including bringing food and drinks out to guests, providing snorkeling gear, sharing historic facts and points of interest on the island, and giving good safety briefings. Each crew member was smiling, friendly, pleasant to be on-board with, and worked seamlessly together as a team. The captain and crew did an excellent job all the way around and earned the spot as my favorite snorkel trip on the island!

We had the best excursion with captain Morgan and his crew! We stopped at two places to snorkel then another stop at a cove which we got to see some pretty cool views along with waves crashing creating waterfalls off the lava walls! They served a light breakfast and wonderful lunch! Played great music too! It was a prefect day! This is a must do! You will not be disappointed!!

Outstanding!

Not much I can add to the stellar reviews these folks have already accumulated. Beautiful sail down the south west coast of the big island. Maybe the best snorkeling we have ever had in the bay that we anchored at and some fascinating history about Captain Cook, the monument and the surrounding area. Go for it!!
