Sea Paradise – Afternoon Sail & Snorkel Tour

Afternoon trade winds carry Hoku Nui south from Keauhou Bay toward the clear waters of Kealakekua Bay. The sail takes about 45 minutes, with open-ocean views and time to settle into the relaxed pace of this brand new luxury catamaran before arriving at one of the best snorkel spots in all of Hawaii.

Kealakekua Bay is a protected Marine Sanctuary filled with tropical fish and a beautiful coral reef that can impress even seasoned snorkelers. You will also see the Captain Cook Monument, a white obelisk near the water's edge that was built to honor the British explorer and navigator James Cook, who was killed here in a confrontation with Hawaiians during his third exploratory voyage in the Pacific in 1779.

After snorkeling in the bay, enjoy another beautiful view of the coastline while light pupus and beverages are served on board. As the afternoon winds down, Hoku Nui sets sail back to Keauhou Bay.
