Arrive 15 minutes before your scheduled departure time. The boat departs promptly at the scheduled time.
Bring a hat, sunglasses, reef-safe sunscreen, and a towel. Wear your swimwear under something comfortable. Storage on the vessel is limited, so bring only the essentials.
Plan for about a 30-minute boat ride to the snorkel site, around 1.5 hours in the water, then light snacks and refreshments after snorkeling, followed by about a 30-minute ride back. Timing can vary with ocean conditions and the group’s pace.

I went on the Kona Snorkeling Tour, and I had a great time! Captain Sammy drove us along the Kona coasts to local reef spots. We had an ecologist on board that could help identify wildlife! The crew were all so nice! We saw a sea turtle and an eagle ray. Lots of wildlife and a couple pufferfish. We were taken to two snorkel spots and the second had gorgeous sea arches. The snorkel spots were just our group swimming. I loved the private feeling as too many snorkelers and you can run into each other or other people splashing can scare wildlife. It’s a small tour group, which is perfect as it’s more personable and less overstimulating. The tour had snacks and drinks onboard making us more comfortable. Boat was very nice and comfortable. 10/10 would go again!
