The adventure begins from Honokohau Marina as our experienced captains take you along the coast in search of dolphins, manta rays, and other types of marine life commonly found in the nearshore environment. Depending on the season, we may find other types of marine life as well–whales, sharks, and huge schools(bait balls) of akule.
After enjoying the nearshore wildlife, we will proceed to one of several beautiful snorkeling spots along the Kona Coast. There are many amazing spots and secluded coves and we will choose the best location based on the weather and conditions of the day.
After snorkeling, refreshments will be served and then the adventure continues with a boat ride back to the harbor. We will get back to the marina in style, enjoying the speed and maneuvers that only the Ocean Warrior, a REAL US Navy SEAL assault vessel, can do.
NOTE: Due to the surf or other conditions, we occasionally need to limit our boat maneuvers for your safety. Also, nature is wild and keeps no schedules, so it is impossible to guarantee any particular wildlife sighting on any given day. That being said, our experienced captain and crew have decades of experience between them and will do all they can to ensure you have a memorable experience. We have 95+% chance of encounter with dolphins and/or manta rays throughout the year.
