What happens on the day
Get ready for an epic ocean adventure along the Kona coast!
Your 3-hour journey begins when you step aboard KIBOU, a spacious and state-of-the-art speedboat. Experience the thrill of zipping along the Hawaiian coast, searching the waves for playful pan-tropical spotted and bottlenose dolphins. Once spotted, your captain will expertly position the boat for optimal viewing while the crew shares fascinating facts about Hawaii’s marine life.
After enjoying the dolphin show, you'll set sail for one of Kona's best, and most remote, snorkel sites. Dive into crystal-clear waters teeming with turtles, fish, and vibrant coral reefs.
In between dives, you'll be treated to a delicious BBQ lunch, complete with hot dogs, veggie dogs, chips, water, and juice. Finally, you'll enjoy a scenic cruise back to the harbor, taking in all the beautiful sights and sounds of Hawaii.
