Join the best crew at Sea Paradise for a wonderful snorkel tour.  We provide the masks and snorkel.  Our modern and spacious catamaran, the Hoku Nui, will sail out to the Captain Cook Monument in the famous Kealakekua Bay which is considered one of the best snorkeling spots in Hawaii.  This activity is great for all levels of snorkelers but here are some tips for those new to this fun water activity.

Snorkeling is a great way to explore the underwater world without any special training or equipment. All you need is a mask, snorkel, and fins, and you’re ready to go.

Snorkeling is a great way to see fish, coral reefs, and other marine life in the pristine waters of Hawaii.

Here are some tips for snorkeling like a pro:

  • Choose the right gear. Make sure your mask fits snugly and doesn’t leak. The snorkel should be comfortable to breathe through, and the fins should be the right size for your feet.
  • Practice in shallow water. Once you have your gear, practice snorkeling in shallow water. This will help you get used to breathing through the snorkel and using the fins.
  • Be aware of your surroundings. When you’re snorkeling, be aware of the tides, currents, and other swimmers. Stay within your limits and don’t go too far out.
  • Don’t touch anything. It’s important to respect the underwater environment and not touch anything. This helps to protect marine life and keeps you safe.
  • Have fun! Snorkeling is a great way to relax and enjoy the beauty of the underwater world. So take your time, breathe deeply, and enjoy the experience.

Here are some additional tips for snorkeling safety:

  • Snorkel with a buddy. This is especially important if you’re snorkeling in unfamiliar waters.
  • Let someone know where you’re going. Tell a friend or family member where you’re going snorkeling and when you expect to be back.
  • Check the weather forecast. Don’t snorkel if there are strong winds or currents.
  • Be aware of your limits. Don’t try to snorkel too far or too deep.
  • Stay hydrated. Drink plenty of water before, during, and after your snorkeling trip.

With a little planning and preparation, you can have a safe and enjoyable snorkeling experience. So what are you waiting for? Get out there and explore the underwater world!
