The Best Beaches and Snorkeling Spots

Hawaii is known for its vibrant beaches and endless options for aquatic recreation. The Kohala Coast on the west side of the island offers the best snorkeling, diving, and surfing spots. Actually, the Big Island is known to have the clearest and most pristine reefs in the island chain!
This is a great activity for families and couples. Teach your kids about the ocean and watch them be amazed by the diversity of life or enjoy snorkeling alongside your sweetie. See who can find the most unique fish!

Incredible Views

Take an unforgettable Kona-Kohala cruise and bask in the beauty of Hawai’i’s coast. Admire stunning landscapes, rolling hills dotted with palm trees, miles of white sand beaches, and crystal blue waters – great for capturing some amazing photos! But if you visit between December to March be sure to keep your eyes peeled as migrating humpback whales make this majestic coastline their love-home every year; a special sight only seen here since ancient times.

Watch for Dolphins!

We want the natural environment you enjoy today to be here tomorrow, and for every tomorrow after. We often see playful Spinner Dolphins as we cruise out, they are so much fun to watch, but we do keep our distance.
We are Hawaii’s first Dolphin Smart-recognized operator. NOAA’s Dolphin Smart educates guests about dolphin conservation and harassment and advises not to seek activities that pursue close interactions like swimming with dolphins in Hawaii in the wild.

Frequently Asked Questions

What If The Weather Is Bad?

This experience requires good weather. If it’s canceled due to poor weather, you’ll be offered a different date or a full refund.
Is This Wheelchair Accessible?

Unfortunately, due to our beach boarding process, we cannot accommodate guests in wheelchairs.
What Should I Wear?

When boarding at A-Bay, it is a beach-loading process with transfer from a tender-boat, with barefoot entry that takes a few steps into the seawater from the beach. Come in your swimsuit and casual clothing that may come in contact with water.
Will I Get Seasick?

Most guests do just fine. However, if you are prone to seasickness, we recommend you take anti-nausea medication prior to your trip.

Can I Swim With The Dolphins?

We are Hawaii’s first Dolphin Smart-recognized operator and as such follow strict guidelines so that all marine mammals and wildlife are protected. NOAA’s Dolphin Smart advises that people not seek activities that pursue close interactions like swimming with dolphins in Hawaii in the wild.
