⛵ Sea Paradise - Afternoon Snorkel Tour
Enjoy a fun afternoon sail aboard the Hoku Nui, a brand new luxury sailing catamaran. Departing from Keauhou Bay, you’ll cruise south for about 45 minutes to Kealakekua Bay, one of the best snorkel spots in all of Hawaii. This Marine Sanctuary is home to a large variety of tropical fish and a beautiful coral reef that will amaze even seasoned snorkelers. You’ll also get to see the Captain Cook Monument, a white obelisk near the water's edge that was built to honor the British explorer and navigator James Cook, who was killed here in a confrontation with Hawaiians during his third exploratory voyage in the Pacific in 1779.
After snorkeling in the bay, you’ll have a moment for another breathtaking view of the bay while you enjoy light pupus (snacks) and beverages on board. As your snorkel adventure comes to an end, we’ll set sail back to Keauhou Bay.
