About this activity

Set out from Kawaihae Harbor aboard Olohana, a 41-ft luxury powerboat built for comfort, speed, and adventure along the Big Island’s beautiful Kohala Coast.

This 3-hour tour visits two distinct snorkel sites, selected daily for the best visibility and calm conditions. Explore vibrant reefs teeming with tropical fish and Hawaiian green sea turtles, with dolphins often seen nearby and humpback whales in season.

Between snorkel stops, unwind on deck and enjoy a sandwich lunch, snacks, and cold drinks as you take in the coastal views. Perfect for families, first-time snorkelers, and anyone looking to experience the Big Island’s underwater beauty and aloha spirit.
