Our kayak and snorkel tour offers a unique and immersive experience focused on the thrill of exploration and the tranquility of paddling on the open water. On the Big Island of Hawaii, this adventure is particularly enchanting due to the island’s vibrant marine life and breathtaking coastal scenery. You’ll have the chance to see spinner dolphins, eagle rays, and a huge variety of colorful reef fish. You'll be guided along the ocean to a vibrant coral reef, a secluded site teeming with life. The eco-friendly, active nature of kayak snorkeling makes it an ideal choice for those seeking a more intimate and rewarding connection with the ocean. With a small group size maximum of just four participants per tour, we ensure a personalized experience that caters to your needs. We are flexible and can customize the experience to your liking, but we have a well-defined option to help you make the most of your time on the water.
We start early to get the best of the ocean and weather conditions. After an introduction to your equipment and a safety briefing, we’ll launch the kayaks and exit Honokōhau harbor. As you paddle along the coastline, you'll soak in the fresh ocean air, bask in the sunshine, and take in breathtaking views of the Hualālai volcano. We’ll reach our destination, a secluded and less-traveled snorkeling site. Our chosen site features amazing visibility, a comfortable area to exit the water and spend time on shore, and strong marine life biodiversity. After anchoring, it's time to gear up with the provided snorkeling equipment, hop off the kayak, and explore one of the most vibrant and abundant reefs in Hawaii. Your guide will be there with you to point out and describe special critters and aspects of the reef that would otherwise go unnoticed. After snorkeling, it's time to head back towards the harbor. If conditions allow, we’ll stop by a lovely beach for a quick snack and swim before heading back to the boat ramp to wrap up the day.
