Overview

This 4.5-hour deluxe snorkel and dolphin watch tour departs from Kailua-Kona aboard a luxury double-decker catamaran. Boarding begins 30 minutes before departure at Kailua Pier, with free parking available about one block away at 75-5629 Kuakini Highway. The vessel features a 20-foot waterslide, a 15-foot high jump platform, fresh water showers, three restrooms, shaded seating areas, and a full-service cash bar where drinks can be purchased. The cruise travels approximately 10 miles along Kona's Gold Coast, offering an excellent chance to see dolphins and other marine mammals before reaching the snorkel site in the Red Hill marine sanctuary. Guests spend about two hours snorkeling among thousands of tropical fish using sanitized masks, fins, snorkels, and reef-safe sunscreen provided on board. Island-style breakfast and lunch are served during the trip, with lunch prepared fresh by the crew. Wetsuit rentals are available as an optional upgrade. The lower deck is fully wheelchair accessible, with priority boarding available if arranged in advance. Guests must bring their own towels and provide their own transportation to the pier. This tour does not include snorkeling in Kealakekua Bay, but a separate Historical Dinner Cruise to that location is offered. The tour operates subject to favorable weather conditions.
