After a delightful morning exploration, board the Hula Kai for the second snorkeling destination – Kealakekua Bay, a marine and dolphin sanctuary and site of the Captain Cook Monument. Dive into one of Hawai’i Island’s most vibrant reefs while delving into the historical significance of this culturally rich area.
Thanks to the impressive speed of the Hula Kai, we can venture further from shore while traveling to and from the snorkel destinations. This allows us to encounter a wide array of marine life, including various species of whales and dolphins.
