Departing from Honokohau Harbor near Kailua-Kona, the cruise follows the shoreline with scenic views of the island's lush volcanic landscapes, and there is a chance to spot Hawaiian spinner dolphins, bottlenose dolphins and other marine life along the way. Once in the bay, a protected marine sanctuary, you will spend over an hour snorkeling in crystal-clear waters that shelter more than 200 species of colorful tropical fish. Snorkeling gear and snacks are provided, and the knowledgeable crew shares insights into the history and cultural significance of the bay.
