Kona Dolphin & Whale Watch with Kealakekua Bay and Honaunau Bay Snorkeling

Depart from Keauhou Bay Small Boat Harbor for a morning adventure along Kona's coast. With only six passengers on board, this intimate tour balances wildlife encounters, coastal history, and two of the island's best snorkeling sites.

The captain first guides you along scenic shoreline known for pods of spinner dolphins and, in winter months, humpback whales. A knowledgeable crew shares cultural and historical stories that connect the ocean to Hawaii's heritage.

Snorkel at two Marine Life Conservation Districts: Kealakekua Bay, home to the Captain Cook Monument and vibrant coral reefs, and Honaunau Bay, also called the "Place of Refuge," with calm waters perfect for spotting tropical fish and lava rock formations.

Between stops, enjoy a fresh fruit platter, chips, juice, and water on board. Snorkel equipment and flotation aids are provided, making the tour welcoming for beginners. Please note that swimming directly with dolphins is no longer permitted under Hawaii law, ensuring wildlife is respected while still offering incredible viewing opportunities.
