About this tour

Set out from Kawaihae Harbor aboard Olohana, a 41-foot powerboat, and discover the underwater beauty of the Big Island’s Kohala Coast. This three-hour Kawaihae snorkel adventure visits two distinct sites, chosen daily for visibility and calm conditions.

Slip into clear waters to explore vibrant reefs filled with tropical fish and watch for Hawaiian green sea turtles. Dolphins may appear nearby, while humpback whales can be seen in season. Snorkeling instruction, sanitized gear, flotation equipment, and in-water assistance help make the experience welcoming for beginners. Between stops, relax in shaded seating or on the open deck, and enjoy a sandwich-style lunch, light snacks, and cold drinks. Restrooms are available on board.

Your Kawaihae snorkel adventure pairs time in the water with an easygoing boat ride and sweeping coastal views. Arrive 20 minutes early to check in at the dock and find the boat marked Olohana. Book your outing and experience two memorable snorkel spots along the Kohala Coast.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 5.00 from 5 reviews. We place that rating among all Viator 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 7.4. Top 44% in Big Island of Hawaii means it ranks in the top 44% of tours in Big Island of Hawaii by this score.
