Snorkel Cruise

Teaming with tropical fish, lively coral, diverse marine life including turtles, dolphins, manta rays, and whales, the clear, warm, and typically calm waters off the west side of the Big Island are an aquarium to be explored by snorkeling. While some good spots can be found right off the beach, many of the prime spots are only accessible by boat. A boat cruise combines excellent snorkeling spots with a memorable half day out on the water, including friendly and attentive crew and guides, water activities, and refreshments, as well as all the amenities for a comfortable and safe experience.
