Read more about this private charter
This private charter puts your group alone on the boat, snorkeling reefs and landing on beaches along the Kona coast away from the crowds. The trip is 4 hours on the water, fully catered, with a couple of itinerary options for families and small groups. During the winter season all these trips include whale watching!
Typical family itinerary (snorkeling + beach combo)
Families can snorkel reefs that only a boat can reach, or land on a white sand beach that is only accessible by boat or by a ROUGH 4wd ride or a hot hike.
The beach has good snorkeling and sits in the middle of humpback waters during the season, with a freshwater spring called the Queen’s Bath behind it. You can also snorkel with mantas there in the daytime.
For families, that puts a quiet beach and good snorkeling on the same trip.
More adventurous charter options (fishing charters and pelagic water swims)
More adventurous groups can head further offshore for deep sea fishing or open-ocean (pelagic) swims with animals from whale sharks to pelagic mantas. We often times find pilot whales, Sperm whales, and hammerhead sharks.
If your group wants to fish, the whole trip can run as a fishing charter.
Captain Cook Snorkeling Trip
The Captain Cook Monument trip includes snorkeling at two spots, one of them Kealakekua Bay, and the option of cliff jumping in coves sheltered from surf.
