Afternoon Snorkel

Here's the thing about snorkeling along Kona's Gold Coast – the afternoon light hits these waters just right, turning everything into liquid gold. Body Glove Hawaii knows this secret well, which is why their 2.5-hour afternoon snorkel Kailua-Kona adventure aboard the 65-foot catamaran Kanoa II has become legendary among locals and visitors alike.

You'll start at Kailua Pier, boarding a vessel that's more floating playground than typical tour boat. The Kanoa II comes loaded with a 20-foot water slide, 15-foot high dive platform, fresh water showers, restrooms, and plenty of shaded spots when you need a break from the sun. First-timers get personal attention from the lifeguard-trained crew, while seasoned snorkelers can immediately dive into exploring the vibrant underwater world.

What makes this afternoon snorkel experience special isn't just the premium gear (including reef-safe sunscreen) or the light snacks and soft drinks – it's cruising these waters when dolphins are most active. The Gold Coast delivers spectacular marine encounters, and flotation toys let surface swimmers enjoy the show without getting tired.

Between snorkeling sessions, that 65-foot catamaran offers serious space to stretch out. Want something stronger than soft drinks? The Premium Bar has cocktails available for purchase. The whole family can join since all ages and skill levels are welcome.

Meet at Ilima Court Shopping Center on Kuakini Highway – free parking included – and arrive 30 minutes early. Bring a towel and prepare for 2.5 hours of pure ocean bliss. The crew accommodates special dietary needs with 48-hour notice, and the no-smoking policy keeps everyone comfortable. Starting from $118 per person, this comprehensive afternoon snorkel Kailua-Kona tour includes equipment, instruction, refreshments, and access to every onboard amenity.
