Who says the best adventures on Hawaii’s Big Island have to begin before sunrise?
For visitors who prefer a leisurely morning, Sea Paradise Hawaii offers an exceptional way to experience the underwater beauty of the Kona Coast without setting an early alarm.
Our Afternoon Snorkel Tour departs Keauhou Bay at 2:00 PM aboard the Hoku Nui, our spacious 50-foot luxury sailing catamaran, for an unforgettable three-hour adventure to the World-Famous Captain Cook Monument at Kealakekua Bay.
Why Choose an Afternoon Snorkeling Tour in Kona?
Vacations should be relaxing, and not everyone wants to wake up early to enjoy Hawaii’s spectacular marine environment.
An afternoon departure gives visitors time to enjoy breakfast, explore Kailua-Kona, shop, or simply relax before heading out onto the Pacific Ocean.
Sea Paradise Hawaii’s Afternoon Snorkel Tour offers a convenient schedule without sacrificing the beauty and excitement of snorkeling one of the Big Island’s most celebrated destinations.
Experience the Marine Wonders of Kealakekua Bay
Kealakekua Bay is a protected Marine Life Conservation District known for its colorful coral reefs, abundant tropical fish, and exceptional underwater scenery.
Snorkelers may encounter yellow tang, Moorish idols, parrotfish, and Hawaii’s famous state fish, the humuhumunukunukuapuaʻa.
Hawaiian green sea turtles, known as honu, and other fascinating marine creatures also inhabit the waters of the Kona Coast.
Marine wildlife sightings vary naturally, making every snorkeling adventure a unique experience.
Sail in Comfort Aboard the Hoku Nui
Unlike smaller snorkeling boats, the Hoku Nui offers the stability and spaciousness of a 50-foot luxury sailing catamaran.
Its twin-hull design helps reduce rocking and provides a comfortable sailing experience.
Guests enjoy shaded seating, expansive deck space, panoramic ocean views, two oversized restrooms/changing rooms, freshwater showers, and convenient staircases for entering and exiting the water.
Our professional crew and marine naturalist provide snorkeling equipment, flotation devices, and information about Hawaii’s extraordinary marine ecosystem.
Guests must be confident swimmers to participate in snorkeling activities.
Enjoy Kona’s Beautiful Afternoon Sailing Conditions
After exploring the underwater wonders of Kealakekua Bay, relax aboard the Hoku Nui as the afternoon sunlight illuminates Hawaii’s dramatic volcanic coastline.
Enjoy complimentary light snacks and nonalcoholic refreshments, or purchase a handcrafted tropical cocktail, local beer, wine, or mocktail after snorkeling.
The return sail offers another opportunity to appreciate the beauty of the Kona Coast.
