Step aboard a 65 ft Catamaran for a 4.5 hour fun-filled day of adventure!
There’s an excellent chance of dolphin and other marine mammal sightings while cruising to the remote snorkel site. Dolphins, for example, were seen on 85% (17 out of 20) cruises last year.
The Kanoa II, a multi-million dollar catamaran, is loaded with luxury features to provide you with the most comfortable snorkeling experience in the industry. Cruise 10 miles to a protected and secluded marine sanctuary, teeming with thousands of tropical fish.
Bring your suit and towel, and know everything else is included: continental breakfast and BBQ burgers which are all individually boxed, reef-safe sunscreen, snorkel gear, flotation devices and toys, a 20′ waterslide, three bathrooms, showers and a full service cash bar. Great family fun!
Dolphin sighting policy
Body glove follows NOAA’s policy dolphin encounters and adheres to the dolphin SMART practices. This means that they do not put guests in the water to swim with dolphins. It is possible (likely) that you will see dolphins during the tour because they love to play in the wake of the boat as it travels to and from the snorkel destination.
