DESCRIPTION
After sailing down the beautiful Kona Coast on a spacious catamaran your snorkeling adventure will begin in the pristine waters and the vibrant reef of the Marine Sanctuary of Kealakekua 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 newest Hawaii catamaran, the Hoku Nui sets sail from Keauhou Bay at 8:30 am. As we sail down the Kona Coast, enjoy a tropical-style breakfast while you keep an eye out for Humpback Whales, from Dec-April, and Hawaiian Spinner Dolphins, year-round.
Approximately 45-minutes later, well enter Historic Kealakekua Bay, where youll spot the World Famous Captain Cook Monument. Hawaii the Big Island Revealed guidebook says, snorkeling in Kealakekua Bay near the monument is perhaps the best you will find anywhere in the state. Bring an underwater camera to capture the colorful schools of fish and sea life swimming through the vibrant reef and ancient lava flows.
Enjoy the view over lunch as we exit the bay and set sail for Red Hill (weather permitting). Snorkeling in the Red Hill area gives you another perspective, with schools of sea life swimming through underwater lava archways and lava tubes. Then its back to Keauhou Bay, arriving by approximately 1 pm. While your Hawaii snorkel adventure has come to an end, your memories will last a lifetime.
