Please read this tour description. There are lots of Kona snorkeling trips, most companies are double the price for this tour. We offer the best value guaranteed, while giving you a premium experience for a fraction of the price. We make you feel like family, not just a number. If you are new to snorkeling this is the ideal choice! However, swimming is a requirement.

We offer several different times slots to fit your schedule. The times shown indicate the check in time. Tour duration includes time to check-in and receive gear. Snorkel participants must be comfortable swimming.
