Snorkelling and dolphin watching boat tour from Kailua Kona, Big Island

Snorkel and swim some of the most pristine and plentiful waters in Hawaii off the shore of the Big Island during this half day boat tour from Kailua Kona!

Hawaii’s Big Island is the largest and youngest of the Hawaiian islands, and it boasts an abundance of lush farmland, active volcanoes, glittering black sand beaches, and pristine waters bursting with sea life! From whales and dolphins, to manta rays, sea turtles, a variety of tropical fish, and thriving coral reefs, there is so much to discover in the waters around the Big Island! That said, snorkelling is an absolute must when visiting the Big Island, and Body Glove offers a complete and luxurious snorkelling and dolphin watching experience from Kailua Kona!

This Body Glove snorkelling cruise will take you to the excellent reefs by Red Hill, a large volcanic cone that marks the boundary between North and South Kona. Lesser known and significantly less crowded than Kealakekua Bay, this snorkelling spot is the perfect location to spend a couple hours exploring warm turquoise waters with family and friends! During the sailing portion of the tour to and from Red Hill, not only will you get to enjoy a delicious breakfast and lunch with magnificent views of the Big Island’s coast, but it is also highly likely that you will have a dolphin sighting!

Body Glove’s deluxe catamaran, the Kanoa II, has everything you need to enjoy your time out on the water during your snorkelling boat tour from Kailua Kona! The boat comes equipped with 3 bathrooms, 2 freshwater showers, and a full service bar where cocktails are available for purchase. Its double decker formation allows for a sunning spot up top, great for dolphin-watching, yet plenty of shade and a covered main cabin to relax away from the heat. The top deck comes with a jump platform so that you can leap right off the side of the boat from a height of 15 feet as well as a 20 foot water slide for an even more fun way to get into the water! For an easy access option in and out of the water, at the back of the boat there is a staircase leading down to double wide swim steps.

Before the snorkelling begins, there will be a Snorkel 101 class taught by the First Mate, so don’t worry if this is your first time snorkelling! All snorkelling equipment is provided by the boat, including your mask and snorkel, prescription lens masks if needed, and reef safe sunscreen. The boat also provides floatation devices including life vests, inner tubes, stand up paddle boards, floating mat, and foam noodles for your floating pleasure as you snorkel or swim. Breakfast and lunch are included as part of the snorkelling tour off the Kona coast and you will have your choice of mixed fruit, yogurt, granola, and pastries in the morning and for lunch there will be BBQ beef burgers, taro burgers, chips, and cookies for dessert! The meals are locally sourced and specially prepared by the Body Glove chef in their commercial kitchen, where they know that fun works up a healthy appetite!
