About snorkeling on the Big Island of Hawaii
This is the full list of snorkel trips. Many leave from the Kona side: trips to Kealakekua Bay and the Captain Cook Monument, manta ray night snorkels from Keauhou and Honokohau harbors, turtle snorkel sails, and snorkels paired with dolphin or whale watching. From the Waikoloa area there are snorkel sails with lunch, and there is also a beach snorkel at a sea turtle lagoon and black sand beach.
Wear reef-safe sunscreen, never stand on coral, and give turtles and dolphins room. If you are not a strong swimmer, ask for a flotation vest. Check each listing for the departure point, what is included and the age policy.
