Snorkla i liten grupp vid Kealakekua Bay i Captain Cook, Big Island
Beskrivning
Vi kryssar från Keauhous hamn ut i kristallklart blått vatten. Medan båten är på väg kommer besättningen att peka ut intressanta funktioner längs Kona-kusten, som är rik på hawaiisk historia. Södra Kona har en uppsjö av historiskt betydelsefulla hawaiiska kulturarv, fulla av mana (andlig kraft). Håller vi oss nära Kona-kusten när vi reser söderut mot Kealakekua Bay, och tittar noga efter något intressant marint liv. Vi kan stoppa båten för att njuta av Hawaiian Spinner Dolphins (Stenella longirostris) som ställer upp. Hawaiian Spinner Dolphins vilar nära stranden under dagen och kommer ibland att interagera med båten, pilbåge och leka i vår kölvatten. Efter en kort show från Hawaiian Spinner Dolphins, knölvalar och allt annat intressant som hittas längs vår väg, anländer vi till den världsberömda Kealakekua Bay, platsen för kapten James Cook-monumentet. Efter att ha snorklat i Kealakekua Bay i ungefär en och en halv timme börjar vi bege oss tillbaka till hamnen.

We had a lovely time with a small and friendly group. Our captain and guide were personable and inviting. Views were great and we felt like the time alottment was just right. I was a appreciative of the quality equipment they provided. Also snacks were a nice touch to take the appetite and blood sugar after swimming for an hour or so. The best excursion we've done in our week here (and we did the manta ray one too).
We had a great experience on a snorkeling trip in the Kealakekua Bay with Hawaii Oceanic. Because the trips are capped at 12 max, we had a very personalized experience from our wonderful guides, Alan and Sara. Our 5-year-old is not yet a strong swimmer but they patiently enabled us to take him in the water with a life vest and he was super excited to see lots of fish! I would book again in a heartbeat!
Such a great snorkeling trip! Communication was excellent, our guides were knowledgeable, safe, and helpful. The smaller group was so nice. We would definitely book again!
The snorkel trip to Kealakekua Bay was amazing. We went on the early tour and there were only a few others in the bay when we got there. Very peaceful with calm water. I saw dozens of different fish. I wish I had studied the names ahead of time so I could better identify them when I was in the water. Going to the bay, we saw a small dolphin pod that we slowed down to get a good look at. We saw a different pod leaving the bay. On the way back we enjoyed the coastal views along with some history. I rented a Go Pro, which allowed me to capture images safely. It was worth it. Alexis and Eliza were amazing as captain and guide. We would definitely do this tour again.
The snorkeling at Capt. Cook was by far the best we experienced on the big island. The crew were very friendly and knowledgeable. The smaller boat makes for a great experience.
Terrible experience The zodiac didn’t offer any shade, the captain Rudy was racing with it , the information shared very poor. They dropped us in the water and seemed very bored. The speed on the way back was insane and injured my back. I would not recommend.
This has to be our best snorkeling ever! There is so many fish in this bay and so much to see, you could literally spend hours here! Our guides were great and answered so many of our questions. They're very knowledgeable on the fish and marine life in this area.
Alexis was great loved the history
This was a highlight of our trip. Captain Cook is a wonderful location to snorkel with a huge variety of fish and sea life to experience. And on the boat ride back, we encountered a pod of dolphins that were happy to swim around and play with our boat! Also, the tour guides were absolutely amazing. One of them had a degree in marine science, and the other had a degree in Hawaiian history, so they brought a wealth of knowledge and stories to the experience. And they were super friendly and accommodating. We couldn't recommend this tour more.
Did the oceanic snorkel with Alexis and Carmel and it was awesome. They were super helpful and prepared everyone for the adventure with tips and tricks. Alexis was our historian and she shared so much knowledge about the Hawaiian culture, traditions and legends. Carmel was very helpful and friendly as everyone prepared for the tour. I loved that these ladies were gentle and helped calm my friend’s anxiety as it was her first time snorkeling. I liked that this tour did not require flippers, it was an option. When we got back in the boat, the ladies had a cooler ready with cold drinks like water, a variety of sodas and island drinks like POG. They also provided fresh pineapple and snacks like chips and fruit snacks. On the way back, Alexis continued to share history about Captain Cook and Pele. Carmel made sure the boat was organized and helped everyone gather their items and locate their shoes. All in all, I would book this tour again. We saw a ton of fish that Alexis helped us identify using the fish guide. We were out on the water for about an hour and a half. I had so much fun! Highly recommend this tour again:) ps. Bring a water case for your phone if ya want footage :) and please do not step on the reef !
