About This Tour
Kealakekua Bay is a marine sanctuary where you can snorkel with over 200 species of tropical fish. We will stop at sea caves, and one to two other historical stops along the way. Our tour is very unique because we provide a very intimate one on one experience with our guests. Our convenient check in location gives us a more private feel away from the larger tours, of 20-30 people. Our crew are very knowledgeable about the historical aspects of the Big Island, and the Kona coast. Our vessel "Nature School 2" is comfortable, fast, and one of the nicest tour boats in Kona Hawaii.
