Additional Information

Discover the astonishing charm of the Kona Coast at the scenic Kealakekua Bay during an afternoon snorkeling venture. With gear and expert lessons provided onboard, the Kealakekua Bay Snorkel Cruise is ideal for families.

The Kona Coast waters, from Keauhou to Kealakekua Bay, are among the calmest throughout the day in Hawai’i - shielded from stronger winds from the East by Hualalai Mountain. As we navigate south, the clear waters of Kealakekua Bay offer some of the finest visibility in the whole state and a plethora of stunning coral reefs to explore. We supply instruction, snorkeling equipment, floatation apparatus, and also feature a high dive and two 15-foot water slides so that you can experience this marvelous location to its fullest during the afternoon!

A great snorkel trip, even if you don't snorkel! - My family of five (including boys aged 11, 7, and 4) loved the Fair Wind snorkel tour. We snorkeled for about an hour and a half. My oldest son spent the whole time snorkeling; the middle one snorkeled for about half of the time; and the youngest spent most of that time wandering around the boat, contemplating jumping off the high dive, and actually jumping off the low dive and water slides. This boat had something for everyone!

Awesome daytime cruise - We had a great time! The crew was friendly and the captain was informative, knowledgeable and had a great sense of humor. Will definitely go again. But next time, we’ll either have a little bit more lunch or take the morning tour. The snorkeling and water slides, etc were a big hit with my family. Thanks folks!

Recommended - The spot is not crowded, lots of fish to see. Sweet potato chips were great. Everything was streamlined, different people came up asking what size fins and masks we’d like and they had floatation devices and view boxes.

Getting in the water and using the viewer was the highlight of my tour - It was AMAZING!! As a none swimmer, I thought I would stay on the boat and watch. Derrick was kind and patient enough to convince me that the viewer and the tube would help. It did!!!Thank you, Derrick!!! You helped to make my experience a memorable one. Also, the vegan lunch was excellent!!!

Very nice snorkelling experience. - The overall experience was great. The weather a bit less, overcast. Not sure how this influenced the experience. The sea was fairly rough, some of us were slight bit seasick. Great captain and crew. Water and soft drinks are available throughout and after swimming the bar opens up. For those who wanted, it was possible to try snuba.
