Our Offered Tours
Depart Keauhou Bay sailing down the Kona coast to snorkel in the pristine waters near the Captain Cook Monument in Kealakekua Bay and “Red Hill.” Tropical breakfast buffet and lunch included.
As the sun sets over Kona, it’s the perfect time to board Hoku Nui, our 50-foot luxury catamaran, to Manta Village—for an evening adventure snorkeling above manta rays as they swirl and somersault below you.
The crew were professional, kind, knowledgeable and fun.
Extremely clean, with luxury bathroom facilities.
Lots of refreshments and snacks, also a freshwater shower to wash off as you get out of the sea.
One thing I did notice that Sea Paradise was doing that other boats around us weren’t doing. Sea Paradise puts crew members on paddle boards as lifeguards in the areas that you are swimming. That’s a big plus for safe in my eyes and I appreciate that.
Thank you again for the great time and great memories.
❓ Questions & Answers
From Keauhou Bay, Sea Paradise Hawaii operates Morning and Afternoon Snorkel Tours, Manta Ray Night Tours with a Manta Ray Guarantee, and customizable private charters aboard the luxury catamaran Hoku Nui. Each tour blends education, ocean adventure, and genuine aloha.
Guests who plan to snorkel must know how to swim for their safety, and we do not teach swimming onboard. However, non-swimmers can still enjoy the experience by relaxing on deck as they sail taking in the breathtaking views of the lava sculpted coastline and keep a watchful eye for sea life. For manta tours we have a Ride Along option to view manta rays above from the comfort of our spacious luxury vessel.
Sea Paradise supports manta ray research by partnering with organizations such as the Manta Pacific Research Foundation. We follow strict viewing guidelines, educate guests about manta behavior, and share resources like the Manta Identification website so visitors can learn more and contribute to ongoing conservation efforts.
Sea Paradise is considered eco-luxury because we combine the comfort of a 50-foot sailing catamaran, professional crew, and high-quality gear with reef-safe practices, educational briefings, and certified eco-tourism standards. Guests enjoy a premium experience that still prioritizes sustainability, cultural respect, and the long-term health of Kona’s reefs and manta habitats.
