Dolphin Discoveries - Captain Cook Afternoon Snorkel
This combination dolphin / whale watching and snorkel tour is 3 hours of fun. You will see the sea caves and lava tubes of the historic Kona Coast as you make your way to Captain Cook's Monument at Kealakekua Bay. Once there, you will snorkel one of the nicest marine sanctuaries in Hawaii. As you snorkel, you will be accompanied by numerous curious fish that live among the vibrant and colorful coral reefs. After snorkeling, you will head out to find some of Hawaii's famous spinner dolphins (and, in the winter, you'll also go looking for some whales as well!)
