Arrive to the departing dock by 8:30am and climb aboard the 50 foot luxurious sailing catamaran for a scenic 45-minute journey along the beautiful Kona Coast.

They will share Hawaiian history, legends, and stories as the Hōkūhele sails to the Captain Cook Monument located in Kealakekua Bay. The captain and crew members will share Hawaiian history, stories, and legends with you as the Hōkūhele catamaran glides along the Big Island coastline. During the sailing portion of the Big Island Snorkel Tour with Sea Paradise, you will have the chance to view several spectacular lava tubes and ocean caves on Kona’s rugged coast. With every Sea Paradise Hawaii Snorkeling cruise, some type of marine life shows up for your viewing pleasure. This is one the most popular Kona Tours that usually attracts a pod of spinner or bottlenose dolphins. Watch as they swim close to the boat entertaining you with their playful antics and tricks. You may even see a dolphin thrust itself high out of the water way into the air while spinning its body around 2 to 3 times before dropping back into the ocean. You may experience a real treat with a visit from a giant manta ray during this Big Island Snorkeling Tour. The manta ray is a quiet, gentle giant that weights approximately 3,000 pounds and is about 22 feet long. Perhaps this graceful manta ray will perform its amazing underwater ballet as this gentle giant glides through the ocean doing somersaults in mesmerizing patterns. You most likely will see green sea turtles slowly floating along the coast as these awesome marine creatures can swim for hours without growing tired. Big Island Snorkel Tours featuring the Captain Cook Monument at Kealakekua Bay is offered all year long, but only during the migrating months will you see a humpback whale. Humpback Whales are known to only travel from Alaska’s freezing cold water to Hawaii around November and return in late April. Whales migrate to the warm waters of the South Pacific to mate and give birth. During the winter months, you just may be lucky to see a humpback whale swim up to the surface of the ocean as it ejects air from its blow hole! After the 45-minute scenic ride enjoying Hawaii’s marine wildlife, the Sea Paradise Big Island Snorkeling Tour will arrive in the Kealakekua Bay for a Big Island Hawaii Snorkeling and Captain Cook Monument Tour.
