Full description
Discover the breathtaking beauty of Kealakekua Bay on a guided kayak and snorkel adventure. This immersive experience offers two options: an early morning excursion or a midday tour, both providing a unique perspective on Hawaii’s marine life, history, and culture.

Begin your journey at our shop, where you’ll check in and receive an introduction to the area, its conservation efforts, and essential snorkeling guidelines. From there, you’ll drive yourself to Kealakekua Bay, where your certified guide awaits with all necessary equipment.

Paddle across the calm waters of Kealakekua Bay, a Marine Life Conservation District and one of the most protected deep-water bays in Hawaii. Along the way, keep an eye out for Hawaiian spinner dolphins, seasonal humpback whales, and an array of seabirds. Your guide will share fascinating stories about the region’s rich history, including its cultural significance and the legacy of Captain Cook.

Upon reaching the protected shoreline of Ka‘awaloa, prepare for an unforgettable snorkeling experience. Dive into crystal-clear waters teeming with vibrant coral reefs and over 200 species of tropical fish. Encounter sea turtles, eels, rays, and even reef sharks in one of Hawaii’s most pristine underwater ecosystems.

Depending on your chosen tour time, refuel with a healthy lunch (morning tour) or light provisions (midday tour) before taking a relaxing paddle back across the bay. Conclude your journey with a deeper appreciation of Hawaii’s natural beauty and a memory that will last a lifetime.
