The journey, in full
The Hokunui sets sail from Keauhou Bay at 2 pm. Keep a watchful eye out for Hawaiian Spinner Dolphins, Hawaiian Humpback Whales (seasonal Dec-April), and other marine life while you sail down the beautiful Kona Coast. As you enter Historic Kealakekua Bay, you will observe the World Famous Captain Cook Monument (sail time approx. 45 min.) Your snorkeling will then begin in the pristine waters and the vibrant reef of the Marine Sanctuary of Kealakekua Bay. "Hawaii the Big Island Revealed" guide book says, "snorkeling in Kealakekua Bay near the monument is perhaps the best you will find anywhere in the state." Make sure to bring an underwater camera to capture the colorful schools of fish, pods of spinner dolphins that are also commonly spotted in the bay, and the landscaped ledges of ancient lava flows. As your snorkel adventure comes to an end, we will set sail back to Keauhou Bay arriving by 5 pm (approx.), with majestic memories of your Sea Paradise trip that will last a lifetime.

What travelers are saying
Not a great tour, more like the drinky, drinky party cruises well known in the Caribbean. Cruise delivered as promised, just didn't feel like it was worth it.
