Head out along the Kona Coast on this snorkel and sail trip from Kailua-Kona to Kealakekua Bay, a protected marine sanctuary known for its tropical fish and coral, and home to the Captain Cook Monument. Aboard a fully certified sailing catamaran, you can relax in the shaded open-air cabin or stretch out on the netted trampolines while watching for dolphins, turtles, manta rays and, in season, whales. A light continental breakfast with 100% Kona coffee, fresh fruit and pastries is served on the way out. On arrival in the bay, the crew shares the story of Captain Cook's voyage before you slip into the water with the snorkel gear and swim noodles provided, with instruction for those who need it. After snorkelling, enjoy a pre-selected deli-style lunch and non-alcoholic drinks on board, while beer, wine and cocktails can be bought from the bar. The return sail follows the coastline back to Kailua-Kona, with views of its coastal landmarks along the way.
