SNORKEL THE MOST POPULAR AND BEAUTIFUL SPOT IN ALL OF HAWAI’I, KEALAKEKUA BAY.

We offer three different times to meet your schedule. Each snorkel tour is 3-hours long. These trips provide the longest snorkeling times at Kealakekua Bay with an average of 1 hour of actual snorkeling time. Just like on our longer trips, this adventure has 100’s of different varieties of tropical fish along with an occasional “Honu” (Hawaiian green sea turtle) or local dolphins.

Your Captain will share Hawaiian History and get you up and personal with sea caves and lava tubes. Water, juice, fruit and snacks are provided on all snorkel trips.

If you are new to or have never snorkeled before this is the ideal choice! Particularly good for families with younger children or swimmers who aren’t certain if they are “seaworthy” enough for one of our longer trips.

What are the Captain Cook Snorkel Tour Schedules?

8:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m.: This snorkel trip beats the crowds to Kealakekua Bay, home of the Captain Cook Monument. We are often the first boat in the bay and our guests get time to enjoy the reef with limited interruption.

11:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.: This snorkel trip is designed for those who want a later start and enjoy the warmest part of the day. With the sun fully overhead, you’ll get to see the reef at it’s most vibrant at Kealakekua Bay.

12:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m.: This Captain Cook snorkeling trip is geared for those who want to escape the crowds. This lazy afternoon snorkel leaves the dock for a more relaxed adventure to the best snorkel spot along the coast, Kealakekua Bay.

What Sea Creatures Will I See Snorkeling in Captain Cook, Hawai’i?

Hawai’i is home to some of the most biologically diverse sea life. Apart from that, there is a whole host of marine creatures that are native only to the Hawaiian Islands. This means that you can expect some amazing views from both above deck and below water.

Some things that you may see while snorkeling in Kealakekua Bay on our Captain Cook Snorkel Tour are reef fish like parrotfish, pufferfish, sunfish, and triggerfish, alongside eels, crabs, and other sea creatures and crustaceans, and on occasion, sea turtles (Honu).
