We offer three different times, each being 3 hours long. These trips provide the longest snorkel times at Kealakekua Bay with approximately an hour of snorkel time. This adventure promises views of 100’s of different varieties of tropical fish along with an occasional “Honu” (Hawaiian green sea turtle). Your Captain will share Hawaiian History and get you up and personal with sea caves and lava tubes. If you are new to or have never snorkeled before this is the ideal choice!
