The Boat
Climb aboard a spacious 65’ foot catamaran for a day of exploration along the Kona coast. This boat comes equipped with everything needed for a fun-filled day on the ocean: a 20’ waterslide, high dive platform, snorkeling gear, inner tubes, a “flotation station island”, water toys, stand-up paddleboards, and more! To ensure a comfortable ride, guests will also find cushioned seats, freshwater showers, restrooms, and plenty of shade on board.
Sea Creatures
Kona’s calm waters are a favorite playground for an abundance of sea creatures, including spinner dolphins, manta rays, and humpback whales in the winter months. Keep your eyes peeled for energetic pods of spinner dolphins- these curious creatures are spotted frequently aboard this tour. In fact, dolphin sightings are guaranteed, or you can come again for free! Once you arrive at your designated snorkel spot, don your snorkel gear and explore the shallows. You’re sure to see scores of tropical fish and, if you’re lucky, perhaps a green sea turtle or two. If you haven’t been snorkeling on Big Island, you haven’t lived!
Breakfast & Lunch
Breakfast and lunch are served on board to keep guests fueled for a day on the water. Breakfast includes fruit, yogurt, and an assortment of pastries. For lunch, you’ll find tropical grilled chicken sandwiches with citrus slaw, chips, and cookies. For adult guests, a full bar is located onboard, serving local beers and cocktails.

This was the highlight of our trip to Kona. The dolphins were so cute, and snorkeling in such a pristine spot was fantastic. The boat was big and had everything we wanted. Great times!

I would’ve liked to have seen more dolphins, but your rules about distance and aproach don’t enable the best experience possible. We had fun, but I wanted to see schools.

The captain explained that it’s not legal to actively look for dolphins and run up on them and I was worried we wouldn’t see them. But, low and behold, they came to us! It was so much fun. But the snorkeling really was the highlight. My son doesn’t swim and used floaties and loved it. He stuck his head in with mask but didn’t like the snorkel. He would have to look up every few seconds to breath but he still loved it. Your crew was very accommodating and patient with us.

Spinner dolphins are now my favorite animal!!!!! They’re so impressive to watch! We found a whole “pod” of them jumping and spinning through the air. They looked like they were having so much fun! such intelligent creatures. I also saw 2 turtles while snorkeling. Just wow, Hawaii! You win
