Description

from Private Charter
A Private Charter for family and friends (up to 6 pax) to share a personal, one of a kind experience! This 4-hour morning trip generally does a dolphin swim excursion in a super safe Willard Navy Seals boats to swim with wild spinner dolphins, to experience their energy and curiosity in interactions with humans. Following the dolphin swim, you will travel south to explore the sea caves along the Kona Coast, and go snorkeling in the calm waters of Kealakekua Bay Marine Reserve (location of Captain Cook Monument), often called the best snorkeling spot in Hawaii, and only accessible by boat (or a very long hike). After exploring the colorful reef, you can relax aboard to enjoy a fruit platter, snacks, and green tea, while learning about the historic and cultural background of this region.

On your way back to Keauhou Bay, you may see other natural sea creatures such as whales (Humpbacks, in season), manta rays and sea turtles. Or if you prefer, you can build your own customized tour to go north or south to other great snorkeling spots!
