Overview

This morning four-hour, small-group private excursion takes you to sea in a Willard Navy Seals boat. We generally start with experiencing the energy and curiosity of wild spinner dolphins in their natural environment. Following the swim in waters where dolphins can often be found, we travel south to explore the sea caves along the Kona Coast, and go snorkeling in the calm waters of Kealakekua Bay Reserve. Often called the best snorkeling spot in Hawaii, the reserve is only accessible by boat (or a very long hike). After exploring the colorful reef, relax onboard with snacks and green tea while learning about the historic and cultural background of this region. On your way back to Keauhou Bay, you may see other sea creatures such as whales (humpbacks when in season), manta rays, and sea turtles. There is also an option to build your own tour.
