Description

There is no better way to explore Hawaii’s #1 snorkel destination than with an affordable private charter from HAWAII MARINE LIFE CHARTERS. Vessel Designed for Exploration: We operate a 31’ Ocean Craft RHIB—This design offers stability, maneuverability and a faster, smoother ride to Kona’s remote coastal gems. Size Matters: With a max 10-passengers, our private charters are more economical than the competition’s 14 or 18-pack boats. All-Inclusive VIP Amenities:Other operators will nickel and dime their customers, but at HMLC all of the extras are included in your tour price. Personal Concierge Experience: As private charter, our crew focuses solely on you, making this the perfect tour for beginner snorkelers and families with children. Local Expertise: A family-owned business, Captain Brian and his crew leverage 30+ years of local knowledge to share Hawaiian history and "hidden gems" other tour operators may miss. Your journey to Hawaii’s top snorkel destination starts here.
