About this tour

Discover Hilo’s underwater world on a guided snorkeling adventure that pairs two bay sessions with a nature walk through the island’s distinctive landscapes. Along the way, your guide shares insights into local culture, topography, and the lava tubes that channel cold runoff from Maunakea.

At the first snorkeling spot, stairs lead down to the water for an hour of exploring. Watch for turtles and smaller fish as your guide keeps an eye on the group. Pause for snacks between sessions, then follow a sandy path to the second site, where coral and abundant sea life make for another rewarding hour in the water. Wildlife sightings vary, so enjoy the reef and scenery as they unfold.

Snorkeling gear and an expert guide are included. Basic swimming skills are required; bring swimwear, a towel, and sunscreen, and remember not to touch marine life. Meet by the bathrooms at 1815 Kalanianaole St in Hilo; transportation to the meeting point is not included.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. GetYourGuide rates it 5.00 from 1 review. We place that rating among all GetYourGuide ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.

How the score works and rating distribution in Big Island of Hawaii
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 7.1.
