Small-Group Snorkel at Kealakekua Bay in Captain Cook, Big Island

About this activity

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, bow-riding 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.
