Overview

Join us for a beautiful ocean tour traveling the Kona coastline to Kealakekua Bay where you will experience a world-renowned reef snorkeling site. This area has plentiful reef fish life and our guides will teach you about the fragile reef ecosystem. This tour is great for those who do not want an entire day on the water but still want to experience the beauty of Kona’s amazing blue waters and colorful reef.

We welcome beginners and children on this beautiful coastal adventure but ask that anyone attending to know how to swim and still meet the safety criteria. Light snacks and drinks will be provided and you’re welcome to bring a lunch to enjoy while viewing the massive cliff face and views in the area. Kids under 12 are required by the Coast Guard to wear a life vest when onboard at all times. Reef safe (zinc only) sunscreen is REQUIRED BY LAW on this tour. You are welcome to use ours.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Will I get seasick on Kaimana Kealakekua Bay Captain Cook Adventure?

A: If you have any doubts about becoming seasick on the water, we recommend taking a Dramamine® Motion Sickness Relief tablet the night before your trip. Some people recommend taking it the night before your cruise and then again that morning so you will not feel so drowsy. Read more Feb 2023
