Morning Sail & Snorkel Tour
Snorkel with Hawaii’s Marine Life
The Morning Sail and Snorkel Tour offers a unique opportunity to explore the beauty of Hawaii from both the land and the sea. You’ll sail down the Kona Coast while enjoying a tropical-style breakfast and keep an eye out for Humpback Whales (from Dec-April) and Hawaiian Spinner Dolphins (year-round).
After breakfast, you’ll enter Historic Kealakekua Bay and have the chance to snorkel near the Captain Cook Monument. This is your opportunity to see Hawaii’s vibrant marine life up close and personal!
Guests will sail along Oahu’s beautiful coast while enjoying panoramic views of the island, and then stop for a guided snorkel tour where they can explore the vibrant coral reefs and see colorful fish up close. This tour is perfect for both first-time snorkelers and experienced swimmers, and it’s a great way to spend a morning in Hawaii.
You’ll enjoy two delicious island-style meals throughout the course of this tour. We’ll start the day with a light tropical breakfast made up of fresh fruit, pastries and muffins. After your first snorkeling session, you’ll get to enjoy a sandwich and sides for lunch as we sail to another location for a second chance to snorkel.
The area around the Captain Cooke Memorial in Kealakekua Bay is known as one of the best snorkeling spots in the state. Watch colorful schools of fish, green sea turtles, and other local marine life as they swim by. Don’t forget your underwater camera to capture some amazing shots!
