About this tour
Set out from Kailua-Kona for a four-hour snorkeling adventure aboard a 41-foot super-raft built for speed, comfort, and time on the water. With shaded seating and an onboard bathroom, the ride pairs the excitement of a raft with practical comforts for your morning at sea.
The boat’s speed and agility make it possible to visit at least two snorkeling sites. Use the provided snorkeling equipment and reef-safe sunscreen as you explore, then take a break with a light breakfast snack, picnic lunch, water, and soft drinks. Keep an eye out for marine mammals during the ride, though sightings are not guaranteed. Captains check water conditions before each departure to help ensure safe conditions for guests.
Plan to arrive 30 minutes early at the Kailua-Kona Pier. Free parking is available at the Body Glove Cruises retail store, about a five-minute walk from the pier; hotel pickup is not offered. Book your Kailua-Kona snorkeling experience and enjoy a lively morning exploring the coast by sea.
