Kealakekua in Hawaiian translates to “the pathway of the gods”.

​

Home to a once very large native Hawaiian fishing village on the northern side of Kealakekua Bay, Kawaloa Point, stands the Captain Cook monument, which was erected in 1874 by Captain Cook's fellow countrymen to commemorate where he was killed by the Native Hawaiians.

​

Kealakekua is not only a very historical and sacred area to the native Hawaiian people, it is also a protected Marine Sanctuary and the top-rated snorkel destination in the state of Hawaii. World-renowned as one of the best snorkeling locations in the world, primarily because of it protected, remote geographic location, which provides calm, crystal clear waters, ideal for snorkeling, along with its abundance and variety of different marine life.

​

Our professional snorkel guide will give you a hands-on snorkel demonstration and guide you through the bay, ensuring you don’t miss anything, providing assistance when needed, and, as always, making safety and your comfort our top priority.

 

After snorkeling in the bay, enjoy snacks and drinks onboard and watch wild Hawaiian Spinner Dolphins (Nai’a) while we provide you with more history on the area, Native Hawaiian culture. On the way, we will also stop and see a variety of different sites that include sea caves, blow holes, native Hawaiian cultural shoreline sites and battle grounds, modern-day Kailua Bay and Kona town, popular beaches, and locations along the way. In the winter months (Dec-April) there is a high chance we will see humpback whales as well.

Join us with your friends or family on a once-in-a-lifetime Hawaiian adventure you are sure to never forget.
