Discover the dolphins and other incredible sea life of Hawaii during this dolphin watching and snorkelling boat excursion on the Big Island of Hawaii!
Sail along the sunny Kona coast of the island of Hawaii in search of dolphins and sea life during this dolphin watching and snorkelling speedboat tour departing from Kailua-Kona!
Your Big Island boating adventure begins by searching for pan-tropical spotted, bottlenose dolphins, humpback whales (in season from December to March), and other sea creatures that call the waters around Hawaii Island home! Once the captain spots dolphins, he will carefully position the boat to give you the best view of these inspiring creatures while the crew shares their knowledge about Hawaii’s marine life to enhance your boat tour and snorkelling experience. The speedboat is able to cover more territory at a faster pace than other boats, giving you more opportunities for dolphin watching and seeing more of the beautiful Kona coast!
After watching dolphins and whales, next on the Kailua-Kona boat tour agenda is snorkelling! The island of Hawaii is famous for its incredible marine environment and this snorkelling boat tour will make sure you get the most out of your snorkelling experience by bringing you to 2 snorkelling spots where you can swim among crystal clear waters, colourful coral reef, and an abundance of sea life including sea turtles! During the snorkelling portion of the Kona boat tour, there will also be a party mat in the water for you to enjoy at your leisure, and back on the boat there will be a complimentary lunch of grilled hotdogs (or veggie dogs) and chips, along with water, juice, and light snacks to replenish you!
