What To Expect

Upon reaching the Kealakekua Bay marine sanctuary, which is home to the Captain Cook monument, receive a water safety briefing along with snorkel equipment, snorkel instruction and water noodles. After your briefing, use our grand staircase to get in/out of the water where you spend an hour snorkeling in the marine sanctuary with its abundance of i'a (fish) and vibrant coral structures.
After snorkeling, enjoy a build-your-own sandwich bar for lunch complete with pasta salad and chips as we set the sails and head back to Kona.
