Big Island Dolphin Excursions
Big Island dolphin excursions head along the Kona Coast, where clear reef water, spinner dolphins, sea turtles and tropical fish can all be part of the morning. Ride with Body Glove Hawaii from Kailua-Kona for a catamaran snorkel cruise with dolphin watching, breakfast and BBQ lunch.
Your Big Island Dolphin Excursion
A Big Island dolphin excursion starts with the Kona Coast doing what it does best: blue water, lava shoreline and reef areas close enough to make the boat ride feel like part of the fun. The search is for wild dolphins from the boat, with snorkeling added when conditions are right.
Body Glove Hawaii's Deluxe Snorkel & Dolphin Watch departs from Kailua-Kona and is listed at about 4.5 hours. The cruise takes place aboard a catamaran and includes breakfast, a BBQ lunch and time in the water over Kona Coast reef areas.
Spinner dolphins are the species most often associated with these waters, though bottlenose dolphins, spotted dolphins, honu and reef fish may also appear. Wildlife is never guaranteed, so bring patience, sun protection and a swimsuit, then let the ocean decide what kind of show it wants to put on.
