Hawaiian Sail and Snorkel in Kailua-Kona, Hawaii
Overview
Welcome to the only place in Hawaii where the spirit of ancient Hawaiian seafaring meets modern expectations on the pristine waters of the Kona coast. Immerse yourself in a unique and unforgettable experience as we invite you to join us for a 2.5-hour sail and snorkel on our traditional Hawaiian double-hull sailing canoe – the only commercial vessel of its kind.
Your adventure begins shortly after sunrise at Keauhou Bay, where our skilled crew will welcome you aboard our canoe, Kini Kini. As the sails unfurl, you’ll be transported to a bygone era, where the art of traditional Polynesian navigation was a fundamental way of Hawaiian life. Feel the synergy of modern comfort and ancient tradition as we glide smoothly over crystal blue waters. The highlight of our journey lies beneath the surface as we take you to a secluded cove where abundant sealife lies before your snorkel lens!

What To Expect
Guests will join us about an hour after sunrise on our Hawaiian double-hull canoe as we depart from Keauhou Bay and head south along the coast. We will cruise along the coastline for 30-45 minutes as we choose from a couple of snorkel locations. Your professional guides will provide a safety briefing, an introduction to the canoe, and instructions on using snorkel gear (including fitting for gear). Guests will then be guided into the water to begin their 50-60-minute snorkel! A professional guide will be with you in the water at all times, ensuring your safety and pointing out wildlife! The captain will remain close by with the canoe, and guests may return to the canoe at any time. On the return ride to Keauhou Bay, our professional guides will share various geographically and historically significant points of interest along the way, and answer any questions our guests may have! Rx Masks can be made available upon request. Drinks and light snacks will be provided.
Why choose us? Our small group sizes (12) enable our crew to assist each guest, answer questions, and calm nerves. We have eyes on you and your family at all times. Un/Loading is fast, which means more time for the fun!
